Honda CB-F Concept

.  

Honda has made its world premiere of the concept model CB-F Concept, which was scheduled to be exhibited at the 36th Osaka Motorcycle Show 2020 and the 47th Tokyo Motorcycle Show.

These shows were cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Honda found a solution for this situation and launched a website, Honda Virtual Motorcycle Show, to showcase its latest motorcycles and concepts.

The CB-F Concept engine is powered with the same engine as the CB1000R, a 998cc, water-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve, in-line 4-cylinder engine running the power through a six-speed transmission and the engine eases through its rev-range and provides ample torque.

The frame uses a lightweight, high-tensile steel mono backbone. The undercarriage features an inverted fork at the front that provides excellent road comfort, providing a high-quality ride, and a lightweight aluminum cantilever swingarm proarm at the rear.

The engine gets a visual restyling as it transitions from Honda’s Neo-Sports Café theme to a 1980s superbike design

Honda’s official dimensions for the CB-F is: Length 2,120mm × Width 790 mm × Height 1,070 mm.

Honda said:

"The CB-F Concept is the result of revisiting the CB series’ history, which reached its sixth decade last year, and thoroughly exploring what to preserve, and what to evolve with the company’s flagship sports bike.

The CB-F Concept is an ambitious fusion of cutting edge technology with a design paying homage to the CB900F (CB750F in Japan), a Japanese global model which, in part through the North American racing scene, brought to the six-decades of CB models an iconic status."
