Get Ready for the CB1000F
Hold onto your helmets, motorcycle enthusiasts! Honda has finally revealed its long-awaited CB1000F naked production bike, and it’s making waves across the UK. Scheduled to hit dealerships in February 2026 for a respectable price of £10,599, it’s time to get excited over this stripped-down beauty!
Styled with a Nod to Nostalgia
Riding on the acclaimed CB1000 Hornet platform—winner of MCN’s bike of the year honors—the CB1000F takes a laid-back approach while keeping its core components intact. This bike is not just about performance; it brings a touch of 1980s flair with designs echoing the legendary CB750F and CB900F superbikes. It’s like Honda conjured up a time machine wrapped in modern engineering, ensuring a ride that pays homage to the past while cruising into the future.
Power Meets Practicality
At the heart of this magnificent machine purrs Honda’s reliable 998cc inline-four engine. While the peak power claimed at 122bhp might initially raise an eyebrow compared to the Hornet SP’s 155bhp, fear not! The CB1000F is engineered for real-world usability, focusing on low-to-mid-range benefits to deliver pure enjoyment on those twisty roads. And let’s not forget to mention the retro-cool exhaust sound—just the right kind of audio to make our inner biker swoon.
With the fuel economy promising around 50mpg, you’ll be riding longer and filling up less. Who could resist such a combination of nostalgia, practicality, and sheer riding pleasure?
