HONDA CBF1000 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBF1000F, a sport touring motorcycle manufactured from 2006 to 2018, built around a steel frame based on the one used by the CBF600F model and set in motion by a 988cc four-cylinder engine based on the CBR1000RR unit.

The bike came with the same package as its predecessors, with no changes whatsoever. It 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.

It also packed 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.

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

In the braking department, the bike packed two 296 mm floating discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that offered strong stopping power.

In the power department, the 2009 Honda CBF1000F took its muscles 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.
