Honda is continuing production of its liter-class neo-retro naked sportbike, the CB1000R, for the 2023 model year. Ever since the bike made its debut, it has seen little to no updates in terms of technology and features. The 2023 model year will be no different, as both the standard CB1000R and CB1000R Black Editions only have a new colorway to show for.
Set to be unveiled in the Japanese market for on January 19, 2023, the updated CB1000R and CB1000R Black Edition will feature a new Bordeaux Red Metallic finish and a Graphite Black paint job respectively. Gone are the Matte Ballistic Black Metallic, Candy Chromosphere Red, and Matte Beta Silver Metallic finishes. Additional aesthetic tweaks include blacked out parts for the Black Edition, such as the headlight bezel, fuel tank garnish, upper and lower fairings, and muffler. There are also subtle graphics on the tank that show the CB1000R logo on the fuel tank.
