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.

The bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a round headlight with a chromed ring, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a blacked-out exhaust system with a chromed muffler, twin instrument panels, and cast aluminum wheels.

For suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance, while the stopping power was generated by a single 276 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 180 mm drum unit on the rear.

In the power department, the Honda CBF250 had its heartbeat set by a 249cc four-stroke single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine fed by a carburetor and delivered an output power of 24 hp with maximum strength at 8,000 rpm and 24 Nm (18 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.

In 2004, when the Japanese maker released the Honda CBF600N naked middleweight machine, it also made available a half-faired version called CBF600S that packed an additional front fairing and headlight block.

The CBF600S model was powered by a 599cc four-cylinder Honda Hornet-based engine with a new design. The engine, along with the gearbox, was optimized for smooth power delivery.

The 2004 CBF600S met EURO2 emissions standards and featured an appearance that inspired safety, appealing to returning, new and women riders. Both CBF600N naked and CBF600S half-faired machines were available with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) as an option.

In the braking department, the Honda CBF600S packed the same system as its naked sister, with two dual-piston calipers and 296 mm discs on the front wheel, while the rear wheel was taken care of a 240 mm disc engaged by a single-piston caliper.

Also, the suspension was shared with the naked model and packed a 41 mm conventional telescopic fork handling the front end. The rear end was held by a seven-way preload-adjustable shock absorber.

The 599cc Hornet-derived engine boasted 76 hp at 10,500 rpm and 58 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm. With a six-speed manual transmission converting the power from the engine, the 2004 Honda CBF600S machine reached a top speed of 202 kph (126 mph).

The Honda CBF600 was a middleweight machine manufactured by the Japanese maker from 2004 until 2007 as the first generation. In the CBF600 family were only two motorcycles, such as the CBF600N, the naked one, and the CBF600S, the half-faired one.

Due to not complying with the European emission standards at the time, the CB500 middleweight machine was replaced by the new CBF model, which featured a new design based on the existing Hornet engine and gave it a look that inspired returning riders, new riders, and women.

The EURO2 emission standards were met by the new model, while the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) was optional on both naked and half-faired machines. However, the ABS model came with a center stand as standard.

Some of the highlights featured by the models were the seat, which was three-position adjustable, and the windscreen, which also featured two-position adjustability. For the faired version, the maker offered four color schemes: Black, Dolphin Grey, Pearl Red, and Metallic Blue.

The bike rolled from the manufacturing plant on a set of six-spoke cast aluminum wheels, fitted on the front with two 296 mm discs and three-piston calipers and one 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear for strong stopping power.

The engine and gearbox were optimized for smooth power delivery, and the 2004 Honda CBF600N boasted 76 hp at 10,500 rpm and 58 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm from the 599cc four-cylinder liquid-cooled and fuel-injected engine.

The Honda CBF500 was a standard motorcycle part of the CBF series, manufactured from 2004 to 2007 and as a EURO2-compliant replacement for the Honda CB500. The bike was powered by a 499cc parallel-twin engine that developed 56 hp and a top speed of 201 kph (125 mph).

Also, the Honda CBF500 was discontinued after 2007 due to EURO3 standard regulations that become mandatory in the EU and was replaced by the larger four-cylinder 600cc Honda CBF600.

Like the earlier CB model, the CBF500 packed the same engine, transmission, and final drive, with the engine used as a stressed member of the chassis. It also featured updated fuel and emissions systems, a new instrument cluster, new bodywork, and new suspension.

Unlike the CB models, the CBF was only available as a naked machine without the half-fairing of the previous CB500S, while two versions of the CBF were produced, a non-ABS one and an ABS version that went under the CBF500A name.

For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm of wheel travel and a seven-way preload adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 125 mm of wheel travel.

As for stopping power, the bike featured two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel for optimum braking performance.

In the power department, the 2004 Honda CBF500 had its soul brought to life by a 499 cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 56 hp at 9,500 rpm and 45 Nm (33 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.
