American Honda today announced the 2026 CB1000F, a retro-styled four-cylinder motorcycle that channels the spirit of the iconic 1979 CB750F made famous by Freddie Spencer in AMA Superbike competition. With clean lines, evocative graphics and a broad performance envelope built on the CB1000 Hornet SP platform, the CB1000F delivers the timeless appeal of an air-cooled-era standard with the capability and refinement riders expect from a modern Honda.
"The CB1000F is a tribute to one of the most iconic eras in Honda motorcycling," said Colin Miller, Manager of Experiential Marketing at American Honda. "From the silhouette to the graphics, every detail is designed to evoke the look and feel of the classic CB750F-but with the performance, comfort and reliability of a thoroughly modern machine. It's a bike that rewards the rider on every level, whether commuting through the city or chasing a great road on a Sunday morning."
Also included in today's announcement are the returning 2027 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and CBR1000RR, continuing Honda's commitment to high-performance supersport motorcycles.
2026 CB1000F
Honda continues the CB legacy with the CB1000F, a modern interpretation of some of the brand's most iconic performance machines, with clean lines and striking graphics inspired by the early 1980s. Drawing inspiration from the CB750F and CB900F models Freddie Spencer campaigned in Honda's early days of AMA Superbike competition, the CB1000F incorporates the pure fun of riding into an evocative, retro-cool four-cylinder package. Beneath its timeless styling, the CB1000F benefits from the modern performance foundation of the CB1000 Hornet SP, pairing premium equipment and a broad performance envelope to deliver an engaging riding experience suited for everything from urban commuting to weekend rides on open roads.

This premium model carries the full capability of Honda's unmatched racing experience in every component, leveraging exotic materials, cutting-edge technology and championship-level engineering to an unmatched level. Whether navigating a canyon road or hunting a lap record, the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP delivers the full force of Honda's racing ambition-refined, focused and ready.
2027 CBR1000RR
The CBR1000RR is the embodiment of Honda's "Total Control" philosophy-a machine that channels more than three decades of racing development into a supersport package that rewards riders of every level with an exhilarating, confidence-inspiring experience. Every element, from the sophisticated engine to the precisely tuned chassis, reflects a pursuit of the ideal balance between light weight, nimble handling and responsive power delivery.
