HONDA CBF1000 (2007-2008) 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.

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 rather than top speed and high-revving power delivery like the CBR1000RR.

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.

The 2008 CBF1000 packed 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.

Also, the bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a half-fairing with an adjustable windshield, a steel frame, a dual seat with passenger grab handles, a four-into-two exhaust system, and cast aluminum wheels.

In the power department, the 2008 Honda CBF1000 packed the same power specification as its predecessor, with its 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.
