For 2015, the CB1000R
comes in three colour
versions that
emphasise its mix of
cool urban style and
powerful performance.
SPORTS
PERFORMANCE
REDEFINED
The stunning CB1000R packs exhilarating litre-class
super sports performance in a compact and muscular-
looking form that looks fast even standing still. It delivers
breathtaking acceleration, light, responsive handling, and
invigorating thrills at every twist of its throttle. This is
combined with smooth, easy control and nimble handling
thats just as enjoyable along winding roads as it is on city
streets. Remarkably, the CB1000R looks and feels more
like a compact mid-sized sportsbike than the full-bodied
litre-class performer it really is. Its compact dimensions
and easy reach regarding both the ground and its controls
are outstanding in its class.

by MEHER BAJWA below sea level.
COLOMBIA
Colombia was dubbed the Kidnap Capital in 2009. The
Colombia Defence Ministry reported 219 incidents in
2013, indicating that things have improved due to talks
with the rebels, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia (FARC) in the last decade.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO
The view of and from the Las Lajas Sanctuary, built
inside the canyon of the Guaitara river, is irreplaceable.
MEXICO
Kidnapping has become
endemic in the country
with 1,583 cases reported
in 2013, according to the
Mexican government.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO
Besides buckets of
Coronas and tequila
hangovers, the republic is
steeped in culture and
natural beauty. Visit
Tulum and Zcalo.
VENEZUELA
Over 2008-09 the National
Institute of Statistics estimated
16,917 kidnaps; 583 kidnappings
were recorded in the rst ve
months of 2012.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO
You could do skiing in the tropics
(in the Andes) and then enjoy
world-class museums and culture
in the Caracas.
AFGHANISTAN
Close to 950 kidnappings for
ransom were reported per year till
2012, according to Red24, a global
crisis and risk management company.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO Currently, there
are several travel restrictions, but
when things improve visits to the
garden of Babur and the Pamir
mountains are recommended.
NIGERIA
On average 1,800+ people have been
kidnapped annually in the last decade
which has made it a business.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO
A tropical safari through the Cross
River National Park or a tour of the
Emirs Palace make the risk worthwhile.
