5Four Motorcycles – CB1000R 5Four custom
5Four Motorcycles has teamed up with Honda UK and revealed a new custom special, in the form of the CB1000R 5Four, which will be produced in a limited run and be available for £16,954 OTR via local Honda Dealers in the UK. That’s converts to an eye-watering $32,000 in Aussie pesos.
Guy Willison of 5Four Motorcycles has been featured on The Motorbike Show as well as other programmes, and is a professional bike designer and builder, as well as the brains behind this latest creation.

“Now here is an already fabulous bike crying out for the 5Four treatment. An obvious starting point? The rear. The 5Four tail tidy has no exterior bracketry so the lines are clean. We’ve also fitted a slim LED rear light enabling the number plate to be mounted as high as possible revealing the whole of the rear tyre. The 5Four composite fairing has been designed to flow with the existing lines of the bike and offer some respite from the elements for the rider and carries an individually numbered Limited Edition badge. Each bike comes with a fantastic Racefit titanium Growler X exhaust to enhance the single sided swingarm and beautiful new for 2021 spoked wheels; we’ve also fitted black adjustable dog-leg levers with anodized red adjusters and billet mirrors. The supple leather seat has been hand-stitched in the trademark 5Four diamond-padded pattern and, for the paint, we’ve brought the Works Hondas of old bang-up-to-date with stunning candy red, blue and pearl white. The tank also wears a lovingly hand-painted Honda racing logo. We’re so proud of the CB1000R 5Four – and it’s as good to ride as it is to look at!”
The CB1000R 5Four is of course based on the 2021 CB1000R with a quick-shifter fitted before receiving the 5Four treatment that starts with a Honda Endurance inspired livery in candy red, blue and pearl white.
Notable is the custom composite front headlight fairing, which is painted to match, with a special hand-painted Honda tank logo also added.
Each bike runs an individually numbered limited edition badge, while there’s an option to get Guy Willison’s signature on the tailpiece.
The seat is hand-stitched with a diamond pattern and laser etched with the 5Four logo.
Keeping the rear clean is a tail tidy with reflector mount for a show plate or standard number plate.
The Racefit titanium Growler-X exhaust features the laser-etched 5Four and Racefit logos but is not strictly street legal….
Bling is added in the form of LSL dog-leg brake and clutch levers, as well as mirrors.
The CB1000R 5Four also comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and can be purchased over in Europe via Honda Finance.
