Honda has officially lifted the covers off its latest modern-retro creation, the CB1000F, blending timeless aesthetics with modern engineering. While we await its launch on our shores, have a look at the motorcycle through this image gallery.

Visually, the CB1000F is a love letter to classic motorcycling. Its round LED headlamp, chunky fuel tank, and flat tail section evoke unmistakable nostalgia, while contrasting paint schemes and retro-inspired graphics add depth to its vintage appeal.

A megaphone-style exhaust, ribbed seat, and exposed engine complete the look, giving the bike an authentic, mechanical charm that’s hard to miss.

Powering the CB1000F is a 999cc inline-four engine that produces 122bhp at 9,000rpm and 103Nm of torque at 8,000rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. The powertrain promises a balance of refinement and excitement, exactly what you’d expect from a modern Honda four-cylinder.

Under the skin, the bike features a 41mm Showa SFF-BP inverted front fork and an adjustable Showa rear monoshock, ensuring a plush yet controlled ride. On the electronics front, the CB1000F comes equipped with traction control, multiple ride modes, cornering ABS, keyless ignition, and a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.

Honda hasn’t confirmed regional timelines yet, but the CB1000F is expected to arrive in Australia and New Zealand soon, hopefully by early next year.
