Honda CB1000F Neo-Retro: looks & Inside Story
Honda ne officially apni brand new CB1000F neo-retro bike reveal kar di hai. Isme classic CB look ko modern performance or latest tech ke saath mix kiya gaya hai. Ye bike CB1000 Hornet ke proven platform or Fireblade se liye gaye engine par based hai. 2026 model CB1000F ka aim hai experienced riders ke saath saath young generation ko bhi attract karna, jo ek timeless design chahte hai but daily use ke liye practical bhi ho.
Timeless Design contemporary foundation
CB1000F mein classic Honda CB vibes milti hai, jaise strong, dignifies stance, steel diamond frame, single piece stepped seat or rounded LED headlight, but inner se iska mechanical setup modern Hornet naked bike se liya gaya hai. Overall iska neo-retro look 1980s ki iconic Honda bikes ki yaad dilata hai, matlab old charm bhi hai or performance ya technology se koi compromise bhi nahi.
Project ke according, Honda ke design team ka goal tha ek "Best Balance Roadster" create karna, jo CB ke legacy ko respect kare, but aaj ke time mein bhi easy or relevant lage. Designers ne style or handling ke between achha balance rakha, proportions or overall design harmony pe kaafi focus kiya, so that bike aaj fresh lage or future mein bhi outdated na feel ho.
Engine and Performance
Muscular tank ke below ek kaafi revised 1,000cc inline 4 engine hai, jo originally 2017 CBR1000RR Fireblade se borrow kiya gaya tha or CB 1000 Hornet mein use hua tha. Honda ne is engine ko aise retune kiya hai ki mid-range performance zyada accessible ho. Iska matlab hai approx. 123.7 hp 9,000 rpm par or 103 Nm torque 8,000 rpm par, or power high revs pe nahi, rather thode lower rev range mein offer ki gayi hai, so that daily riding mein bike zyada smooth or usable lage, sirf top-end blast ke liye nahi.
Transmission ratios bhi thode revise kiye gaye hai. First or second gear ko small rakha gaya hai so that city mein bike zyada agile feel ho, or third gear se beyond ke ratios thode taller hai, jo higway pe relaxed cruising mein help karte hai. Highway pe 100 kmph par engine around 4,000 rpm pe rehta hai, jo Hornet se low hai, this means long rides pe ride or smooth ho jaati hai.
Framework, suspension & Braking system
CB1000F ka steel diamond main frame Hornet jaisa hi hai, bas subframe different design kiya gaya hai so that rider ki ergonomics better ho. Chassis ke main points ki baat karein toh seat height 795 mm hai or kerb weight 214 kg, jo sporty feel or rider confidence ke between ek good balance banata hai.
Front or rear both sides premium showa suspension diya gaya hai (41mm SFF-BP forks ke saath), jo bike ko kaafi agile or smooth handling provide karte hai. Braking ke liye front mein dual 310 mm dics with four piston Nissin calipers hai, or rear mein 240 mm disc, isliye braking strong, confidence giving or predictable feel hoti hai.
Tech & features
Despite the Retro look, CB1000F electronics or features ke aspect mein modern hai.
- 5-inch full colour TFT display
- All LED lighting
- Multiple riding modes (Sport, Standard, Rain + 2 user modes)
- Optional bi-directional quickshifter
- Comprehensive rider assists (traction control, ABS, etc.)
Project leader ne openly kaha hai ki Honda chahta hai yeh neo-retro bike young riders ke saath saath classic bike lovers ko bhi sttract kare, or heritage style designs ke around jo motorcycle culture ka interest phir se grow ho raha hai, usko tap kare.
Pricing & Availability
CB1000F already Japan or Europe jaise markets mein aa chuki hai or isse ek premium retro naked bike ko present karke position kiya gaya hai. Japan mein iski starting price around ¥1,397,000 (around Rs.8.1 lakh) hai, jo equivalent Hornet model se thodi zyada hai, mainly iske retro looks or extra features ki wajah se. Abhi tak Honda ne India ya kisi or region ke launch plans confirm nahi kiye hai.
