Some bikes are worth waiting for, and this is one of them. Originally expected back in the spring, the much-anticipated CB1000F has finally arrived with us, and it was well worth the wait. This is a modern muscle roadster with the heart and soul of a genuine icon, and we think you are going to love it.
A love letter to the 1979 CB750F
The CB1000F wears its heritage with real pride. It takes its cues straight from the legendary 1979 CB750F, right down to the muscular retro tank, the classic round headlight and Freddie Spencer's famous racing stripes. It is a proper nod to the machine that helped define an era, brought bang up to date.
Classic looks, thoroughly modern muscle
Under that retro styling sits a punchy 1,000cc four-cylinder engine producing 122bhp and 103Nm of torque. Honda have tuned it to deliver that signature high-pulse sound and feel of the great 80s bikes, yet it is wonderfully usable too, happy to cruise at motorway speeds under 4,000rpm. Classic character, modern manners.
Easy to live with
For all its presence, the CB1000F is a genuinely friendly bike to ride day to day. An upright riding position, a low 795mm seat and a manageable 214kg kerb weight mean it feels light and confidence-inspiring, whether you are threading through town or stretching its legs on a Sunday.
Tech that has your back
This is where the modern side really shows. A six-axis IMU works with cornering ABS to keep you stable and composed, even braking into a bend. There are three riding modes plus two custom setups, throttle-by-wire for smooth response, a Honda Smart Key, and a crisp five-inch TFT screen with Honda RoadSync for calls, music and turn-by-turn navigation. It is also covered by Honda's warranty of up to six years for real peace of mind.
Make it your own
Three accessory packs let you tailor it to your riding. The Sport pack sharpens the looks and adds a quickshifter, the Comfort pack brings a comfort seat, heated grips and tank protection, and the Travel pack adds luggage for weekends away.
