2026 Honda CB1000F Lands in the U.S.: A Retro-Tinged Superbike with a $10,599 Price Tag

Honda’s retro-styled CB1000F is finally crossing the Pacific, and American riders can now snag it at dealerships with an MSRP of $10,599—$400 cheaper than the CB1000 Hornet SP it’s based on.

The 2026 model hitting U.S. shores is a near-clone of the European version, swapping out three color options for just one: Wolf Silver Metallic with blue stripes.

Honda isn’t coughing up horsepower or torque figures for the U.S. market, likely to dodge EPA compliance headaches, but the rest of the spec sheet reads like a textbook for a modern middleweight superbike.

Power comes from a 1,000cc inline-four with a 11.7:1 compression ratio, fed through a six-speed transmission with a quickshifter and a slipper clutch.

Suspension duties fall to Showa’s fully adjustable SFF-BP inverted fork up front and a linkage-assisted shock at the rear, while braking is handled by Nissin’s radially mounted four-piston calipers biting 310mm discs. The bike rolls on 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels wrapped in 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 rubber.

With a 4.2-gallon tank, 42-mpg estimated fuel economy, and a curb weight of 472 pounds, the CB1000F balances retro vibes with modern performance.

Honda’s keeping the U.S. spec simple, but that single color choice might just be enough to turn heads.
