REVIEW:

The CBF1000 was developed to be a sporty performer that would lead its class in stylish practicality and usable power. Its versatility takes the CBF concept to another level. Its specialities are not just adjustable components and handling that easily adapts to the rider’s skill level; but an impressively linear delivery that provides the power the rider wants exactly when it’s needed. Quick cross-city errands are made easy with strong, sporty acceleration that gets the rider out in front of traffic queues. Out-of-town cruising with a passenger and luggage aboard is a smooth, comfortable experience, while sportier solo rides are fun and exhilarating. The elegant styling of the CBF1000F ABS expresses its big-bike performance capabilities without overstating them. Its smooth lines and surfaces emphasise its aerodynamic proficiency. The immediate focus of attention is its sculpted half fairing. Its proportions are designed to provide a superior degree of wind protection at high speed as well as excellent manoeuvrability. Powered by the same high-revving engine that shot the first-generation CBR1000RR Fireblade to dramatic wins on racetracks around the world, the CBF1000 delivers strong thrusts of acceleration in the low-to-mid rev range that most riders most often use. Its chassis, suspension and brakes are also top-notch, and contribute to the CBF’s sporty and swiftly responsive handling capabilities.
