With no other Bigenduro can you ride so hard on the knee and therefore end up way ahead on the grid. If you often feel attacked on your holiday trip, you should fight back with the Versys 1000. Which proves that big enduros and four-cylinders do get along.

Silky running powerplant

sporty, comfortable chassis

efficient wind protection

cushioned seat.

Slight tipping in curves takes some getting used to

Honda CB1000R Black Edition 2021

Honda CB1000R Black Edition 2021

Noble, dignified and incredibly powerful. The CB1000R Black Edition cuts a fine figure both in front of the opera and on a sporty smoke-up on the country road. Even under full load, the power unit exudes pure composure, while the chassis and brake components also cope well with the power and weight. A great all-round naked bike package that conveys Honda quality through and through.
