Overview

• The production CB1000F pairs a Fireblade‑derived 1,000cc inline‑four retuned for mid‑range punch with 123.7 hp at 9,000 rpm and 103 Nm at 8,000 rpm, using revised cams, intake, airbox and a new 4‑2‑1 exhaust.
• Honda reworked the gearing with shorter first and second and taller third to sixth, claiming 4,000 rpm at 100 kph in top gear versus the Hornet’s 4,300 rpm.
• The chassis keeps the Hornet’s main frame but adds a dedicated subframe, a stepped single‑piece seat, a 795 mm seat height, a 16‑litre tank and a 214 kg wet weight.
• Componentry includes Showa adjustable suspension and Nissin brakes with 310 mm dual front discs and a 240 mm rear disc, plus a 5‑inch TFT, full LED lighting, keyless ignition, three preset and two user modes, adjustable engine braking and traction control, dual‑channel ABS and an optional quickshifter.
• Honda priced the CB1000F at 1,397,000 yen in Japan, confirmed three colour options and a single EU variant, with European pricing to be announced later.
