When the 2026 Honda CB1000F was unveiled at EICMA last November, it wasn’t clear whether it would make it stateside. Thankfully, Honda America has just confirmed that it will indeed be available in the U.S. market, and soon.

The new CB1000F is a retro-inspired four-cylinder standard that blends classic styling with modern performance. Drawing inspiration from the legendary CB750F and CB900F models raced by “Fast” Freddie Spencer during Honda’s early AMA Superbike years, the CB1000F channels the spirit of late-1970s and early-1980s performance motorcycles, but uses the CB1000 Hornet SP as its platform.

Available exclusively in Wolf Silver Metallic with vintage-inspired graphics and seating, the CB1000F boasts a modern fuel-injected 1,000 cc four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and a 5 in TFT screen. The suspension setup consists of a 41mm inverted Showa SFF-BP fork with 5.1 in of travel in the front and a Pro-Link single shock with 5.5 in of travel in the rear.

Combining old-school character with modern reliability and performance, the CB1000F is being offered at a MSRP of $10,599 and is scheduled to arrive in dealerships this May.
