Honda CB-F Concept: an idea that harks back to the CB900F of the 80s

Introduced via the web and remotely, the CB-F Concept signed Honda aesthetically resembles the CB900F from the early 80s.

The specialised farming model

Proposed to Tokyo Motorcycle Show 2020, skipped with the evolution of the ongoing health emergency, the Honda CB-F Concept it appeared in a video together with other examples of the Japanese manufacturer. At the moment there are no indications of a possible development and it could remain an example of style.
The appearance is reminiscent of the historic one CB900F, known in Japan as CB750F. Several retro references are highlighted, from the round-shaped front headlight to the rather elongated and welcoming saddle. Then a raised tail and a large rear light unit. The features appear rather clear, like on the sports cars of the past, covered with an elegant silver gray color enriched with blue and light blue details. A livery that recalls the colors used by the rider Freddie Spencer in the AMA Superbike series and present on a historic CB750F. The dimensions amount to 2.120 mm in length, 790 mm in width and 1.070 mm in height.
The model would be based on a HondaCB1000R, evaluating a single-beam steel frame and a single-sided swingarm, combined with a heart composed of four in-line cylinders of 998 cc liquid cooled. An engine that develops 145 horsepower of maximum power at 10.500 rpm and 104 Nm of torque at 8.250 rpm. The drive unit is connected to a six-speed transmission, as reported.
