New Honda Naked Mixes Retro Style of Legendary 1980s CBs with Modern Technology, Fireblade-Derived Engine, and Complete Electronic Package Including IMU, Traction Control, TFT Display, and Customized Riding Modes.
Honda has officially unveiled the CB1000F, a large naked that combines retro aesthetics with current electronic features.
The model uses the 1,000 cc inline four-cylinder derived from the CBR1000RR Fireblade, reworked to favor low and mid-range RPM, delivering 123.7 hp at 9,000 rpm and 10.5 kgfm at 8,000 rpm.
Among the features, there is a 6-axis IMU with cornering ABS, tilt-sensitive traction control, a 5-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync, and five riding modes (three preset and two customizable).

It surpassed the Polo, the Toro, the Hilux, and the Saveiro: with almost 17 thousand units sold, the Fiat Strada was the best-selling car in March 2026.
The debut takes place overseas, with a price announced for Japan of 1,397,000 yen, and arrival expected at European dealerships in early 2026.
Engine Derived from Fireblade, Tuned for Daily Use
The engine originates from the 2017 Fireblade but has been extensively revised for the CB1000F.
Honda redesigned the valve actuation and revised the intake, adopting longer and narrower funnels to prioritize torque at mid-range RPM.
The 4-2-1 exhaust ends in a “megaphone” style silencer, a solution that reinforces the characteristic sound of four-cylinder engines.
According to the manufacturer, the result is a more accessible delivery, with power available early on and a linear response.
Transmission and Clutch Designed for Smoothness
To harmonize with the new setup, the gear ratio has been recalibrated: 1st and 2nd gears are shorter to improve takeoff, while the others prioritize lower RPM during cruising.
In 6th gear at 100 km/h, the engine runs around 4,000 rpm, contributing to comfort and fuel efficiency.
The assisted and slipper clutch reduces effort on the lever and helps prevent rear wheel locking during downshifts.
Chassis: Hornet Frame and Exclusive Subframe
The structural basis is the Diamond frame from the CB1000 Hornet, with a custom subframe for the CB1000F aimed at greater comfort for the rider and passenger.
At the front, the 41 mm Showa SFF-BP inverted fork is adjustable.
At the rear, the Showa shock absorber has preload and rebound adjustments, working with the Pro-Link system.
The dimensions follow those of the Hornet, but the seat has been redesigned and the ergonomics favor an upright posture.
Brakes and Electronics: 6-Axis IMU and Cornering ABS
The assistance package includes traction control and ABS acting during lean thanks to the Inertial Measurement Unit, plus an electronic throttle (TBW).
For braking, the bike features four-piston radial Nissin calipers and 310 mm floating discs at the front, with a 240 mm rear disc.
The mode distribution offers Standard, Sport, and Rain, in addition to two User profiles that allow adjustments to power, engine braking, and traction control intervention.
Ergonomics and Dimensions: Low Seat and Contained Weight
Despite its size, the CB1000F aims for accessibility in urban use and short trips.
The seat is 795 mm high, and the curb weight is 214 kg, figures that, combined with a 16-liter fuel tank, help support the proposal of balanced autonomy and predictable handling.
According to reference measurements published by the specialized press, the declared consumption is around 5.6 l/100 km, with a theoretical range close to that of the Hornet thanks to the new gearbox gearing.
Display, Connectivity, and Smart Key
The 5″ TFT display is colored, with different layouts and controls on the left handlebar.
There is integration with Honda RoadSync for turn-by-turn navigation, calls, and music via Bluetooth.
The lighting is 100% LED, and the ignition uses the Honda Smart Key, eliminating the need for a physical key to start the bike and lock the steering.
Design: References to the 1980s CBs
The visual language recalls elements from the CB750F and CB900F that marked the 1980s, with a voluminous tank, round headlight, and graphics inspired by the colors used by Freddie Spencer.
The reading, however, is contemporary, with clean lines and finishing pieces that align with the “neo-retro” proposal.
Sustainability: Parts with Recycled Material
In line with global goals for using recyclable materials, Honda employs post-consumer polypropylene in the rear fender and the seat base of the CB1000F.
This measure integrates the brand’s initiatives to expand the use of recycled resins in its motorcycle lineup.
Accessories and Available Packages
The manufacturer has structured original kits for personalization. The Sport package adds visual and functional items, such as headlight fairing, protectors, and quickshifter as an option.
The Comfort package includes a comfort seat and heated grips, while the Travel package includes side bags and a tank bag for everyday use or short trips.
All components can also be purchased separately, subject to local availability.
Colors, Price, and Availability
At launch, the CB1000F is offered in three combinations: Wolf Silver Metallic with blue stripe, Wolf Silver Metallic with gray stripe, and Graphite Black with red stripe.
In Japan, the suggested price is 1,397,000 yen, slightly above that of the CB1000 Hornet.
In Europe, arrival in stores is expected for early 2026; further commercial details for the European block will be provided throughout November, during EICMA 2025.
While the CB1000F targets enthusiasts who enjoy a classic style with cutting-edge electronics, what aspect weighs more in your purchasing decision: the assistance package, the more accessible ergonomics, or the retro appeal of the design?
