The Honda CB1000F Is A Real, Live Bike, No Longer Just A Gorgeous Concept

If you've been drooling over the Honda CB1000F concept ever since you first saw it, you're definitely not alone. I know that I'm also not alone here, either; there are probably plenty of us who absolutely love how the concept designs have looked, and were living in hope that Honda would put it into production sometime soon.

And now, I'm happy to report that the day is upon us! That is, if you live in Europe or the UK, where Honda has announced it first of all. The 2026 Honda CB1000F is now a member of the new bike lineup for next year, powered by familiar CBR1000RR Fireblade engine. Only, according to Honda, it's now had its camshafts revised, in addition to intake tuning. 

Peak claimed power is 91 kW (approximately 122 hp) at 9,000 rpm, alongside 103 newton-meters (about 76 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm. Suspension is all Showa, with a 41mm upside down SFF-BP front fork and and adjustable rear shock with Pro-Link linkage. Front brakes are a pair of four-piston radial-mount calipers and 310mm floating brake discs.
