Honda has just unveiled the CB-F Concept on its website after plans for it to debut at the 38th Osaka Motorcycle Show were scrapped.
In creating the CB-F Concept, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer looked to pay homage to the CB900F that first hit the market way back in 1979 and was revived as the Honda 900 Hornet back in 2002. With this in mind, the new bike has a classic design that’s been combined with modern day powertrain technology.
The bike is based around a lightweight mono-backbone structure that uses high-tensile steel in its construction. Elsewhere, there are inverted forks and a single-sided swingarm made from aluminum.

The classic design elements of the bike are particularly striking and include a simple round headlight, a retro silver and blue paint scheme, a host of black accents, chrome exhaust, and a simple leather seat.
Power is provided by a 998 cc water-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, inline four-cylinder DOHC engine. Honda hasn’t released horsepower and torque figures other than confirming that this engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
No mention has been made about whether or not the CB-F Concept will reach the production line. What the company has said that in the wake of the canceled Osaka Motorcycle Show, it will launch a ‘Honda Virtual Motorcycle Show’ on its website where the 29 bikes that were bound for Osaka will be showcased.
