Motorcycle enthusiasts are a varied lot, and we have a lot of differing opinions about a lot of things. But one thing that we can all mostly agree on is that liveries paying homage to racing greats of the past and present, by and large, are usually very welcome. From replica liveries on motorcycles and scooters, to racer-inspired designs on modern helmets, boots, and other protective gear, it's oftentimes a no-brainer that fans will be lining up to hand over their cash.
Someone (and let's be honest, probably several someones) at Honda clearly knows this, and that's why American Honda just announced that it will, in fact, be bringing the 2026 CB1000F to US shores, in all its 1979 CB750F AMA Superbike Freddie Spencer blue and silver glory. You can say a lot of things about Honda, but one thing this proves is that it's a company that knows how to read the room. (Unlike Yamaha, cough cough.)
