American Honda has announced the North American launch of the retro naked bike "CB1000F," previously unveiled in Europe. Wearing styling reminiscent of classic CB models on a modern 1000cc platform, it enters the US naked bike market as part of Honda's new-model push.
The CB1000F is coming to North America too, this is irresistible. Compared to the previous model, wrapping current 1000cc internals in retro-styled bodywork is a nice piece of engineering. Looking at the spec sheet, you can tell it's not a superficial fake-retro exercise. My pulse is up wanting to trace over every last detail of how they've interpreted the CB lineage today.

Neo-classic looks that can also handle highway cruising should really appeal to American riders.
American Honda putting out its own announcement — so they're staggering the launch timing by region.
If it's on the 1000cc platform, the engine should be shared with the CB1000 Hornet — want to know the power figures.
Curious how much the suspension and emissions setup on the US spec differs from the European spec.
There'll probably be an ECU map change for emissions differences, but I don't think there'll be a big spec gap.
A neo-classic charging into the US naked-bike market — the Z900RS looks like a direct rival.
Besides the Z900RS, it feels like this could overlap with the Indian FTR crowd too.
So it's finally coming to North America after launching in Europe first — curious how the CB1000F line lands with the US market.
