Honda CBF1000 overview
The Honda CBF1000 is underestimated in the biking world. With a detuned Blade engine, fabulous handling and a throttle response to die for – you won’t be disappointed with this bike.
Don’t be fooled into thinking it is for the experienced rider, though. It is also novice friendly and a great all-rounder. A great mid-range bike for someone who wants a bit of everything.
The problem with this bike is that it doesn’t look exciting. It is hardly inspiring and the chassis is a kittle dull. But boy – does it deliver in terms of performance. The ride on the Honda CBF1000 is second to none, with great suspension and responsive brakes; even sports riders would be impressed with this model. You can get up to 140mph on the CBF1000. It is glitch free and flexible, all wrapped up under Honda’s usual reliable name.
You get a lot of bike for your money with this model. It has a comfortable riding position, is very practical on all roads and weathers, and all for under £6000 if you’re buying it brand new. You’ll get ABS and a luggage kit as an optional extra.

Comfort | | We have ridden to Turkey and back without any problems. | | Ride Quality | | Handles and corners well. Fitted a Hagon rear shock with remote adjustment for ease of adjusting depending on load and road conditions. |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Generally usual Honda quality but this bike was produced to be a budget bike so you need to make some allowances. Electrics disappointing since no addiional lighting etc allowed or stator will burn out. |
| Engine Rating | | Bullet proof |
| Brake Rating | | Excellent |
| Running Cost | | Good for steady cruising but can be thirsty when making serious progress! |
| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | Excellent value for money. Good all rounder. |
