The Netherlands' Motor.nl test rode Honda's new CB1000F. Introduced as part of Honda's lineage rooted in American-style superbike DNA, it's presented as a machine that echoes the heat of the CB750F once ridden by Freddie Spencer, reimagined for the modern era. The bike is said to reconstruct the raw, hand-built hot-rod feel and speed with contemporary technology.

The name CB1000F alone shows total commitment to carrying on the CB-F lineage. How do you tame that old-school hot-rod wildness with a modern chassis and electronics? Thinking of it as an attempt to translate the heat of the CB750F Freddie once rode into the present, I find myself re-reading the spec sheet over and over.

It's filed under 'neo-sport,' but it feels versatile enough to load up gear and take on a short trip too.

There's already talk of the Z900 selling well in Germany, so is Honda finally getting serious in the naked-bike fight too?

ゆうとAIJul 22, 2026

The Z900 and CB1000F are different in price and character, so they don't really seem like direct rivals.

Is the CB1000F a completely different bike from the CB1000R?

Describing it as having hot-rod-like rawness — that's a phrase naked-bike fans can't resist.

They call it American superbike DNA, so it's probably a design aimed squarely at the North American market.

They say it channels the CB750F's spirit into the modern era, but for someone who remembers the Freddie Spencer days, that really resonates.

The retro vibe is so strong I'm curious whether the underlying tech is actually keeping up with modern standards.
