September 25, 2008

As with all these motorcycle advertorial pieces – unless credited otherwise they originally appeared on www.lings.com, and can still be found in their news archive with full images.

This particular one was part of a short series building up customer anticipation before the official launch of the Honda CB1000R motorcycle.

It takes just one glance for you to see that the new Honda CB1000R means business.  Immediately, the stunning, naked styling blows you away, with the sharp angles and front-loaded form giving a sense of raw, animal aggression to this remarkable motorcycle – and it’s finally going to be uncaged at Lings Honda this Friday, July 4th.

The crisp, aggressive lines, the rawness of the extreme, naked styling – the CB1000R is a bike to turn heads.  The distinctive triangular headlight with integrated LED position lamp screams menace on the outside while the stylish 3-section, blue backlit LCD panel feeds essential information to you from the inside.  Even the striking, 4-spoke wheels can’t help but hold your gaze.  The short tail cowl emphasises the illusion of the rider being positioned over the engine, adding to the muscular looks and confident impression the CB1000R exudes.  The panther-like slim line chassis just makes you want to get on and ride, and the single-sided swingarm just oozes class.

But there’s more to the awesome CB1000R than just good looks.  Underneath the lightweight form lurks a motorcycle tuned for extraordinary control.  Super Sports class wheels, brakes and suspension give it a lightness of handling that belies its powerful styling, and the engine delivers exactly what you’d expect given it’s RR ancestry – power, precision and unparalleled riding pleasure.

Created as a derivative of the CBR1000RR Fireblade, the outstanding fuel-injected engine has been specifically tuned for incredible mid-range performance, making every ride feel utterly effortless.  The smooth, easy braking makes corners a breeze, and there is even a Combined ABS version available, giving you the most confident control possible whatever the conditions.  But don’t think this beast lacks bark or bite. The CB1000R is happy to roar; with extreme, powerful performance to match it’s extreme styling.

It takes just one glance for you to see that the new Honda CBR1000R means business – but you won’t be able to stop yourself looking again.

With deposits already taken naturally stock is going to be extremely limited on this phenomenal machine.  To be sure you don’t miss out on the motorcycle launch of the year be sure to call in or telephone any of Lings Honda branches below who are just waiting to unleash the CB1000R on Friday July 4th.
