New 2026 Honda CB1000F

[Will14]

Does anyone have any thoughts on the new CB1000F? The bike was due to be released in Feb 2026 but my local dealer says it had gone back to April now due to the amount of orders already placed 

I love the look of the bike especially the Black & Red model, much different to anything else on the market

Made me wonder if it will trigger other manufactures to release a 1000cc plus naked, retro style bike, hopes are hankering on a big cc Suzuki

  at last now 6 speeds.
No shocks on outside 👎
The ugliest routing of header pipes I think I've ever seen 🤮
Just my two cents worth.
It's similar at Kawasaki.
Retro to me is twin shocks.

Agree, headers look stupid, no twin shocks, no gauges just a tablet stuck on.photo is  much nicer bike. IMO

Looks like a learner bike, it's utterly bland & the stupid phone instead of clocks means I'd never even consider it even if everything else was great.

I just dont understand these retro things. Do it or dont do it. That Honda is like so many others, neither new or old. Triumph/Hardly probably best at it. Royal Enfield also but not buying problems i dont need.Ive been looking at 14 alternatives ages, still not found.

The seat height is so low it could pass for a Harley in the dark.
