If you've been drooling over the Honda CB1000F concept ever since you first saw it, you're definitely not alone. I know that I'm also not alone here, either; there are probably plenty of us who absolutely love how the concept designs have looked, and were living in hope that Honda would put it into production sometime soon.
And now, I'm happy to report that the day is upon us! That is, if you live in Europe or the UK, where Honda has announced it first of all. The 2026 Honda CB1000F is now a member of the new bike lineup for next year, powered by familiar CBR1000RR Fireblade engine. Only, according to Honda, it's now had its camshafts revised, in addition to intake tuning.
Peak claimed power is 91 kW (approximately 122 hp) at 9,000 rpm, alongside 103 newton-meters (about 76 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm. Suspension is all Showa, with a 41mm upside down SFF-BP front fork and and adjustable rear shock with Pro-Link linkage. Front brakes are a pair of four-piston radial-mount calipers and 310mm floating brake discs.
There are, of course, concessions to modernity including throttle-by-wire and the accompanying six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, wheelie control, and riding modes. A 5-inch TFT dash further aligns the CB1000F with the rest of the current Honda lineup.
Three separate colors will be available for the 2026 CB1000F: Graphite Black with a Red Stripe, Wolf Silver Metallic with a Blue Stripe, and Wolf Silver Metallic with a Grey Stripe.
Pricing and availability will vary by market, but in the UK, the MSRP is £10,599, which works out to about US $14,146 at the time of writing.

What About The US?
At the time of writing, there's been no announcement about a US release of the Honda CB1000F. However, if you've been following American Honda's motorcycle release schedule, we frequently get new models after Europe (and often Asia) does. As a closely related example, we've only just now gotten the CB1000 Hornet SP in the US, while it's been around in Europe and elsewhere for a couple of years already. Same with the CB750 Hornet, which first launched in Europe a couple of years ago. The US market got the XL750 Transalp an entire model year before getting the CB750 Hornet, with which it shares an engine.
Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to see the CB1000F come Stateside. But for now, hopefully our European and UK friends are getting excited about this new beauty they're about to see (and possibly ride) on their roads!
