HONDA CBF1000FA (2011-2012) 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, powered by an engine based on the CBR1000RR Fireblade.

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.

In 2010, the bike received a major revision that included a new design under the CBF1000F name with a new aluminum frame that replaced the steel unit used until that point, a four-into-one exhaust system, a new digital instrument panel, and a redesigned fairing and screen.

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBF1000FA, a big-bore machine with daily commuting and touring capabilities but also with sporty performance topped by excellent handling.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an HMAS gas-charged adjustable shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the CBF1000 featured two 296 mm floating discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

As for power, the 2012 Honda CBF1000FA had its heartbeat set by a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 106 hp at 9,000 rpm and 97 Nm (72 lb-ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm.
