2026 Honda CB1000F officially unveiled in Europe

Honda continues the legacy of the ‘CB’ family with the launch of the new CB1000F model for 2026.

Built on the CB1000 Hornet platform, the CB1000F is equipped with a re-tuned 1,000 cc inline-four engine, delivering a more powerful riding experience in the low to mid RPM range.

It is now capable of generating up to 122 hp at 9,000 rpm and a torque of 103 Nm at 8,000 rpm.

The gear ratio has also been revised, accompanied by an assist/slipper clutch for a more relaxed riding experience.

The suspension of the CB1000F consists of 41 mm inverted Showa SFF-BP front forks, complemented by Pro-Link suspension at the rear, offering wheel travel of 130 mm and 140 mm, respectively.

This retro roadster is also equipped with a Nissin braking system, featuring a four-piston brake caliper paired with dual 310 mm rotors at the front, along with a single-piston caliper and a 240 mm rotor at the rear.

Enhancing the modern retro style of this machine are the classic-style exhaust pipes, 17-inch aluminum rims, and front and rear LED lighting systems.

Standard features of the CB1000F include a dual-channel ABS system, supported by a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), a throttle-by-wire (TBW) system, riding modes (Standard, Rain, and Sport), wheelie control, and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).

Riders can access important information through a five-inch TFT display that can be paired with the RoadSync app.

The fuel tank capacity is 16 liters, while the seat height is set at 795 mm.

Three colors are available for the Honda CB1000F: Wolf Silver Metallic with blue stripes, Wolf Silver Metallic with gray stripes, and Graphite Black.

Owners can also purchase various accessories, including a more comfortable seat, engine guards, a headlamp housing, a quick shifter, radiator shrouds, a 3-liter tank bag, and soft luggage with a capacity of 10 liters for each side.
