The new CBF1000 was created as the next step in Honda’s ‘Just Fit’ programme of basic, all-round motorcycle development following the successful CBF600. Concentrating on providing a strong emphasis on riding ease and its overall ‘fun-to-ride’ quotient, the idea was to make an exhilarating – but not overwhelmingly so – litre-class motorcycle that provides the fullest satisfaction in a wide range of riding applications, from daily street riding to sporty blasts up the hills to even a bit of light touring with a friend along for the ride.
Features:
Aerodynamic Half Fairing
The powerful, aerodynamic lines of the CBF’s front cowl reach up and back to complement the broad curves of its fuel tank with a sharper and more distinctive form than seen on the CBF600.
Integrated Instrument Panel
Behind the windscreen, the CBF1000’s cleanly appointed cockpit presents the stylish form of an integrated one-piece instrument panel, with large, fully electronic dials providing a highly accurate indication of performance parameters. Inside the speedometer resides a liquid crystal display of odometer and dual trip readouts, while a digital clock is provided behind the tachometer’s lens.
Three-Position Adjustable Seat
Like the CBF600 before it, one of the CBF1000’s most important ‘Just Fit’ features is its 3-position height-adjustable seat. A concept pioneered on Honda’s prestigious sport touring flagship, the ST1300 Pan-European, this convenient innovation allows a much wider range of riders to custom-fit the CBF to their own body heights and riding needs by letting the seat be raised or lowered 15mm from its 795mm-high central position.
Combined ABS Version Also Available
The powerful new CBF1000 will also be made optionally available in a Deluxe version that features the added braking confidence and control of both a Combined Brake System, and a compact and smoothly effective Antilock Brake System.
