New four-cylinder naked bike combines classic styling, the modern base of the CB1000 Hornet SP and a suggested price of US$ 10,599 in the United States
Honda has introduced the new 2026 CB1000F, a four-cylinder motorcycle with retro styling that revives the identity of one of the brand’s most memorable eras in motorcycling.
The model was inspired by the legendary 1979 CB750F, a motorcycle associated with Freddie Spencer’s career in AMA Superbike racing. The proposal behind the new CB1000F is to combine the style of late-1970s and early-1980s sport bikes with the technology and performance expected from a modern Honda.
According to American Honda, the CB1000F is based on the CB1000 Hornet SP platform, but adopts its own visual identity, with clean lines, nostalgic graphics and a silhouette that recalls the classic CB750F and CB900F.
Despite its retro appeal, the motorcycle was developed to offer a broad performance range, serving both urban use and short trips or rides on open roads.
Colin Miller, Experiential Marketing Manager at American Honda, said the CB1000F is a tribute to one of the most iconic eras in Honda’s history. According to him, every detail of the model was designed to evoke the look and feel of the classic CB750F, but with the comfort, reliability and performance of a current motorcycle.
