HONDA CBF1000 (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBF1000 was a sport-touring motorcycle part of the CBF series in Honda's range manufactured from 2006 to 2018. The model was set in motion by a 998cc four-cylinder engine based on the CBR1000RR Fireblade powerplant.

Also, the frame of the CBF1000 machine was based on the one used by the CBF600 model. The CBF1000 was manufactured by Honda Italia S.p.A and was first available in March 2006, mainly for the European market.

Ishu Akari, the chief designer of the CBF1000, targeted riders over 30 years old who preferred smooth and progressive acceleration combined with a relaxed riding position and easy handling.

Compared to the CBR1000RR high-revving characteristic engine, the CBF1000 delivered more level power, which was best suited for inexperienced riders with its touring capabilities and higher power and torque in the low-mid rev range than the CBR1000RR.

Also, the bike featured a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) as an option, a combined half-fairing as standard, and an adjustable handlebar, seat, and windscreen.

In the performance department, the 2006 Honda CBF1000 took its thrust from a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 102 hp at 8,000 rpm and 97 Nm (72 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,500 rpm.
