Honda has officially unveiled the naked 'CB1000F' for the North American market, priced at $10,599, with shipments to local dealers already underway. Based on the CB1000 Hornet, it's powered by a street-tuned 998cc inline-four derived from the Fireblade (CBR1000RR), producing 122hp at 9,000rpm. Retro styling reminiscent of the 1979 CB750F is paired with a six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, and a 5-inch TFT display.

This is irresistible. The base is the Hornet's 998cc inline-four, but the Fireblade-derived engine has been deliberately tuned to peak lower in the rev range. Prioritizing everyday mid-range torque over peak output is a tasteful commitment. The old CB750F's design language, paired with a 6-axis IMU and cornering ABS. The ratio of nostalgia to modernity is spot on, I could stay up all night just reading the spec sheet.
