New 2020 Honda CBF Concept Based Upon CB1000R Unveiled

[@woodywood3388]

What? No DCT? 😫

[@motobob]

😂

[@rickducharme7429]

@@motobob I know, I know...but, still, I think the DCT would be awesome with this bike.

[@juliustorre3746]

That's a crap features of Modern motorcycle with ABS.. and Also Quick Shifters and Throttle by wire. All electronic aids are crap. Trust me you'll love if the motorcycle is pure Machine and you, i own a Honda Super Four CB400 1992 and Honda Hornet 919 2002 and I can say that This feels faster and better than my friend's z1000, bmw GS1250(except comfort) and R1m.

[@Mike-er7ym]

That’s a relief! 😐 Why is everyone disappointed it has no DCT if you want that buy a scooter! 🙄

[@davidyoung9561]

I have a 1984 GPZ900R and 1969 CB450. I prefer the old stuff.

[@michaelroxby3937]

Yes...! I was wondering when Honda would 're make the 900f...I'm not disappointed, it's a stunner.

[@arealassassin]

And Look; A PROPER SEAT! Somewhere for my girl to share the experience. This has been missing for a long time in motorcycle design.

[@paulwhitehead3214]

definitely agree with you on the good pillion seat arrangement, ive noticed most modern bikes have crap dual seats

[@acfiander]

Completely agree. I really appreciate a back seat. I won't consider buying one without, which leaves out a bunch of otherwise great bikes.

[@fw1421]

I’ve never been a Honda fan but this brings me back to the 70’s and I love the looks of this bike.

[@2wheelsRnough]

It just looks great! Knowing Honda, I am sure is going to ride well. Look forward to the production model.

[@cpuuk]

CB900F: Even has the twin horns like the old one did ;-) Unemployment made me have to sell mine (back in the day). Best bike I ever owned.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

I know it's a concept, but realistically, when could we expect to see a production model? 2022? It's stunning! I personally think the CB1100 RS is the prettiest modern retro, but wish it had more torque and weighed less. Thanks, Ian! Stay safe, brother.

[@MrDarkoiV]

Wow, you guys are so hungry for spec, CB1100 is amazing at it is, yeah weight would be lower a little bit, but it's not sport bike, it's your everyday workhorse, a classic UJM. What would you need more torque for, it has already too much for normal street use, or some twistiest. I to contrary would love to see CB750 from Honda in CB1100EX/RS style, but slightly lighter and with even better fuel economy.

[@willhorsley2105]

Yes ... the CB1100’s are far too heavy

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Not really that lardy to be honest. I had the CB1100EX and it was gorgeous. It did what it was designed to do brilliantly. It used to be compared to the Z900RS but that was unfair as it's a totally different concept. This new CB with water cooling and monoshock is proper competition for the Z900RS

[@borisstupar5147]

Wow, this CBF has to come out!! It would be a big success for Honda!! Looks amazing!

[@motobob]

Agreed!

[@hughmongous6613]

Love it! I'm an ex owner of the original CB750F and always wanted to build a modern retro of a Freddie Spencer replica! This is it!!!!😁

[@paintup46]

Yeeeeessss! Swear to god, I just said on someone else’s video a few days ago(maybe one of yours) that they should do exactly this! My oh my, plz build it and bring it stateside.

[@GhostRider-ms1ep]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT BRO, ITS LOOKS MUCH BETTER THEN KATANA AND 900 KAWASAKI.REAL BEAUTY

[@keithappel5021]

The Honda hands-down by far it’s the most perfect motorcycle I am seem to date!!!!

[@garypunter412]

CBF Concept for me all day long. My big brother had the original version of the 900 and the 750. Loved it then and this one looks great.

[@melfox6179]

Rather have the original 900f.

[@pawdaypay]

It's definitely beautiful! And I've been really enjoying the neo sports cafe trend lately and I think it would be an awesome bike!

[@layseebalsam]

CB900F bol d'or was my first big motorcycle back in the 80's. Touring through Europe with Krauser 35l side bags, Elefantenboy tank bag, and traveller checks for currency... this was a beautiful design.

[@hondanut7564]

It Looks a lot better than the neo cafe cb1000 , would prefer to see old school dials than a digital screen though.

[@davekintz7170]

YES! AWESOME!!!! I still own an original black 1982 CB900F with 90,000 miles on it! My favorite bike which I bought brand new in 1982.

[@markmckay450]

I owned a CB900f in the 80s, I had a Honda Continental kit installed before I bought it. Loved that bike. It would be nice if they offered something similar if this bike is produced. Cheers

[@craigbell785]

A great looking bike and so good to see manufacturers investing money in bringing these retro-style bikes back, honda have always been good at combining technology with style, they have to bring this one to market, It will be a winner for sure, well done to Suzuki and Kawasaki for their retro models also, this new 900 will be a long way from the $3500 price tag back in 1981

[@rickducharme7429]

I really like the bike. I prefer it (in theory) to the neo cafe model which is an excellent bike that I also happen to like very much. The design, ironically, feels more authentic than the bike it's derived from. It has a more functional rear mudguard/pillion which IMO is an integral part of any bike, and the concept kept it real instead of sticking on that awkward "thingy" behind the rear tire. I think the mirrors and signals, even if they are handled properly by Honda (I think they will handle it well), will be easily addressed in the aftermarket. I would like to see another paint scheme or two, but overall I think this would be a great bike to have.

[@Ashish-qm2ry]

Wow! Such a beauty. I think I want one.

[@motobob]

Ditto!

[@stewartisan1902]

I own one of the original CB750F 's ways back when. If this came out I would go and buy it in a heartbeat as it's one of my fav designs

[@JamesParus]

My first big bike was cb900f. I love this design. I like how it has long tail and not too short. Nice that it has SSSA.

[@HOVREDDY]

Bought a CB750 K6 last year after selling my first bike, a ‘75 CB360T. I’d take a loan out just to get this bike. I don’t like the current modern retros but this is perfection.

[@XAMENOKOPMI]

"just like the kawasaki z900...". My thoughts exactly. I was wandering, why Honda couldn't make a bike in the same way with so many beautiful old models to draw visuals from. There were some attempts but THIS is the one I was waiting for. Fully modern guts, with the visual simplicity of the past. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

[@michaelgaynor3497]

Looks very cool, I owned an 82’ and it was one of my favorite bikes wish I still had it

[@The333]

As a CB1000R owner, I think this bike is a real stunner. Obviously built on the CB1000R platform, but it is a really cool homage to the CB lineup and I think it looks amazing!

[@ControlPro]

I owned and rode a 1981 Honda CB900F2F Bol D'or (with full fairing) around Australia back in the day and it was a bloody reliable bike. Not one hint of trouble (except flat spotting the tyres across the Nullabor Plain which is understandable - haha). Saw pic of one it at 3.01 top left of screen. Currently own a GL1800 Goldwing but I have got to say if I didn't have it, I'd be seriously considering this new CB offering.

[@eddyennis9160]

I loved my CB900F. It was a black one like you had in the video. Loved that bike.

[@tcard2008]

Nice looking bike. My first street bike at 16 was a CB 750! In that same color! Loved riding it wish I still had it now!

[@nihvl]

Hopefully they get a different alloy design with machined details like the original CB750F that’s the only thing I wish in this new CB900F

[@Aleph1010]

This looks beautiful, granted without mirrors,licence plate etc etc. I ride a z900rs cafe and not only is it pretty it goes like the clappers! I'd be interested to see how this actually performs as I've been a Honda CB fan since the 80's

[@rickducharme7429]

I love that Kawi 900 cafe. That fairing really makes what is a very cool bike to begin with even better. I've seen a few lightly customized versions of it that are truly mouth watering. This classification of motorcycle is my favourite bc they are for all intents and purpose the old UJM litre bikes of olde with everything updated, and are even better looking.

[@paintup46]

Love that cafe as well. Especially after seeing it in person and sitting on it. Feels very premium. I would take this over it tho, but only because I’m a Honda fanboy.

[@Mike-er7ym]

The Honda CB750F was available at the same time as the CB900F and they both had “eurostyling” I owned a 900F in 1980. I loved the look of it although my girlfriend at the time said it looked like a Honda superdream! But to be honest the looks were the only thing I liked about it! It didn’t handle,it vibrated and the fuel economy was crap so l didn’t own it for very long ☹️ Oh yes, it was also fitted with “chocolate cams” so reliability was an issue!

[@andrewedmond7738]

Looks bloody good! Hopefully, we will get it in Australia. Thanks mate.

[@motobob]

Not sure that they’ll release it at all, but you never know. The CT125 was just a concept last year (although they’ve made similar bikes before) and that’s going on sale in Japan now 🤞

[@waynestoten7176]

I have the CB985FA & CB900FD & love Honda's modern take on the original bike 👍🏻

[@davidtang4462]

The neo sport style is cool but felt like something’s missing. This one really nailed the perfect work. Gosh it’s beautiful.

[@richardd9976]

I like it, but as I'm an exceptionally old git, my CB1100EX is more representative of my "old school" than this CBF. The CB1100EX may lack the last 20% of performance and handling but for that hit of pure nostalgia - for me, at least - it can't be beaten. Luckily, in these days of lockdown, I also enjoy just looking at it in the garage! Keep up the good work.

[@oxcart4172]

Christ. I loved the 900RS but this is right up there! What a looker!

[@luket79_gc56]

I'm for the retro look in a big way. This Honda CBF is doing it for me.

[@8888swatt]

Absolutely love it but then I am biased because I ride a CB1000 Super Four.

[@keithdrummond1003]

Love the retro look. This looks great.

[@bikedude5911]

Definitely have the shape of the old bike. Would like to see further refinement on the engine to give perhaps some fake air cooled fins to help the engine look better. My pick would have been a clean-up version of the CB1300R to look more like the original CB1100R (81).

[@martell3857]

Beautiful! This is the best looking retro so far.

[@mr.wildwood7342]

Please Honda offer us this bike in the US exhaust pipes are retro as well as bodywork I don’t like exhaust on the new ones we need old school exhaust pipes like these. Motorcycles are truly judged by looks and the exhaust pipes are a major part of the look and sound of a true well built motorcycle.

[@robbikebob]

That looks propper lovely! It really does hit the sweet spot between modern and retro. It looks comfortable, practical, entertaining... I love it! Shame I can't see it ever being cheap 😕

[@motobob]

Well, Honda are currently doing a 0% PCP deal on the CB1000R at the moment which comes in at less than a £100 a month. I know PCP isn’t for everyone but that’s cheap biking for a bike of that calibre

[@carloslopezcolon4387]

It’s pure retro 😍 I want one 😭

[@grenphelps7455]

Take my money... 🤤🤤

[@regabernathy6039]

I owned a 1983 CB1100F. I miss it. This new version is hopefully lighter and handles better than the old one.

[@judgejimbobrowntown7600]

I’m exited for this my dad had a 78 750f when I was a kid and I was in love with it

[@michalisxenopoulos2192]

This is the one, undoubtedly.

[@BN1960]

Nice I had a CB750F in the day (when everything was black & white still) and have fond memories And of course, I'm who they're appealing to. I'm such a sucker.

[@bigal6684]

This gives the Kawasaki Z900RS some real competition! Much more modern vibe and stonking power. I'd love to see a flatter seat, plus that underside exhaust needs cleaned up some way.

[@sanaystudios4829]

Oh ,my god - this is beautiful. Look at the rear gated taillight ! Only caught a short glimpse it but looks amazing. Here's hoping the production motorcycle is left nearly unchanged from this concept

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Love it. Not least because I had a cb900f from new in 81. Since the seat goes so far back, the plate/rear lights should hang from it fairly cleanly rather than be on some massive stalk.

[@orangelion03]

Fantastic! Best retro style bike yet!!! The Kawi is great, but I loved the look of original CB (and I owned a 82 GPz750...still thought the Honda was prettier). So much better than that Katana abomination...

[@steveoliver177]

Looks stunning. Exciting if they release it as a production model in this form. I love retro styling, but do expect my bike to have modern handling, and braking, so you can ride a bike that looks like your legends, but still lets you lay it over and thrash it

[@iancatlin5985]

yes, love it but would prefer the twin clocks of the CB1100RS on this...

[@elmoomle4565]

CB-F...finally...a real aesthetic beauty!!

[@PITBOY911]

Retro for sure, and that bike looks amazing.

[@ernieroach1361]

I love it! Retro or not it’s the best looking Honda naked bike!

[@gustavogallicespedes9417]

I'm from Brazil and have a brazilian version of CB 400 Hawk. I have 1985 CB 450 E. And the fuel tank 80s style are Sweet.

[@davidaubuchon7309]

Definitely love the retro! Love the Kawasaki and it would be tough to pick between these two bikes. This CBF looks awesome.

[@rev.scruffy2249]

Looking at the Triumph Speed Twin but a Honda CB F would likely be my first choice. Had a 1982 Honda CB750 F and it was a FUN bike.

[@thepatriot153]

I want one! That is Beautiful, much better looking the the current naked bikes, Retro, All Day Long,

[@samfischer760]

Would love CB series to come to India starting from CB 400 SF

[@stephenhepworth3113]

get this out there Honda, it would definitely sell. Beautifully simple but extremely focused. Its a winner 👍

[@Jonathan-L]

They got the styling right ... even the OEM exhaust is a keeper.

[@PhilipBallGarry]

I had the CB1100EX for a while. A proper, honest retro which the Z900RS isn't being water cooled and monoshock. That said, if you can't beat em join em so this is definitely my favourite. Hope it makes it into production. Production costs should be reasonable due to the modular build possible with existing components available. The time is right too

[@terryclair2914]

Being a previous owner of the CB900F, black/orange, back in the day I love the looks of this bike! But I think you made one mistake as the original did not handle well with a week frame. Under hard acceleration chopping power would introduce tank slappers that would make my blue eyes brown. The only way out was to accelerate hard to regain control and slow down slowly. Saying that it was one of my favorite bikes and with a Kerker 4 into 1 it was magical.

[@Denis-bo8ms]

First one to comment and watch! I have the 1980 CB750F, love it

[@mikelee1923]

Great review ! I agree the rs was my favourite retro especially in candy orange but the Honda has now pipped it for me as Iam old enough to know the original cb900f well. If this comes into production and they fit some retro clocks i might be tempted👍

[@Jedz123]

I love the look of that bike!!! Looks nicer then the new Katana.

Oh enjoy the video I recall trading in my Yamaha XS 750 for a CB900F which I spend all my wages on making my own god I was only 19 years old i remember modifying it with a Piper 4 into 1 and having every engine casing chromed along with the swing arm exhaust system it was the business with a what a sound later after all the hard work I sold it and bought a Kawasaki KZ1000R didn’t keep it long again had spend a fortune that traded it in and bought the iconic Kawasaki GPZ 900R that was a machine but decided to chop it in for the GPZ1000 RX which didn’t handle the same although had a few cool adventures riding from Liverpool to Bol d'or France and going to Isle if Man TT riding the course like a lunatic on Mad Sunday happy days...!!! Ha it never stops 40 years on still buying a motorcycle and making them special to me my most recent a Triumph Thruxton R again fully customized probably the nicest one in Thailand I’m still riding dirt bikes as well living through dream if Honda produce the CB concept as shown in your video I’m first in the que...!!!

[@peterroberts4448]

Currently the Kawa 900rs is my clear pick. If this Honda CB900 tribute goes into production it will be an extremely difficult decision. 80’s superbike style with modern technology have immense appeal personally.

[@sennasound]

If Honda take out to the market something like this without spoil the excelent chasis and engine of the cb 1000 r adding more weight or things like this, could be a lovely machine. Also adding a bit of modernity with tft dash, IMU, cruise control and a more comfortable seat to the passenger, adding a bit more par at lower rpm, sacrificing the top rpm or the max power, more or less like kawa is doing with the RS. Perhaps we can dream..:)

[@ehsan83]

I'm curious to compare its price with the CB1000R and the CB1100RS

[@steverentoulis4217]

WE ALL WAIT FOR THE CBF 6 CYLINDER THE LEGEND BEST BIKE EVER MADE THEY BETTER DO GOOD WORK ITS THE 1

[@JohnInSale]

I love it, but prefer symmetry, so would like an exhaust on each side for a balanced look Plus I’m not a lover of red, so I’d change those badges for black ones, then it’s perfect 👍🏻

[@karlosh9286]

I do like it. Mind you I also like the CB650R , CB1000R and Z900RS. I do need a 4 cylinder bike to add to my twin and triple Triumphs. So I don't know. This one or the CB650R, CB1000R. Probably be a CB650R because it is about £4K cheaper than the CB1000R and would go fast enough for me. Let's hope corona doesn't get me physically or financially before I can get one !

[@motobob]

There are some great deals on the CB1000R at the moment. It’s a brilliant bike too

[@vaughanboyce3702]

[@BlueMarbleRider]

I am a retro fan. The Z900RS for me: I never liked the superdream cues of the 80s 90s CBs.

[@user-wk3np3sh2j]

IF with cornering abs, QS, heated seat and grips, keyless, electric steering lock, cruise control, immobilizer, GPS tracking at max 12500 EUR i buy.

[@motobob]

CB1000R has barely any of that stuff so I doubt it would be included if it went into production. I like how simple the CB1000R is tho personally

[@seantwin4327]

I love the look. It reminds me of the old cb400 hawk j had. Great little bike. Would be cool to have round pod led gauges. Bit of retro with modern mixed in.

[@markh9675]

Hmm...I'm really happy with my first gen CB1000R (2015). I love the the flickability, the fact it has no computer controlled traction control, no ABS. It is truly a rider's bike. It is the perfect modern bike that everyone wanted growing up. I love the fact I can lock up the rear brake (and the front) if I want to (not that I want to). I love the fact I can do power wheelies if desired (without turning off computer controlled crap). It accelerates to 100 mph as quick as any other bike (sans 10th's of a second). And, it's really comfortable to ride! Once married, and you aren't hunting for the blond bimbo with your crotch rocket - the first gen cb1000r is just a sweetheart.

[@sergebinder9363]

Windshield or bubble up front and side bags would be nice in option

[@coops6621]

Although I’d normally go for the single sided swing arm I’m not sure it works here. Especially with the long silencers I think a pair of piggy back shocks would suit better. And maybe wheels with more of a lean towards the originals. Before you say it maybe I’d be better off with the original!

[@motobob]

Haha! I think putting traditional shocks would have made it too much like the CB1100RS?

[@1990-t1j]

It looks good, but I reckon the bike it's based on looks better.
