Honda Reveals the CB-F Concept

[admin]

A Great-Looking Motorcycle​

Honda held a virtual motorcycle show, giving people a look at its lineup and some future bikes for the brand. One of the motorcycles it showcased was the Honda CB-F Concept motorcycle. The bike was planned to be revealed at the 38th Osaka Motorcycle Show, but that was canceled due to the Coronavirus.

The CB-F Concept features a 998cc inline four-cylinder engine and some retro styling, taking cues from the lat 1970s and early 1980s CB900F. The gas tank has a somewhat boxy design to it and the tail section looks like one large piece that connects with the tank in a near-seamless fashion. The seat is a single-piece and it looks pretty comfy to me.

The motorcycle blends modern technology and the early 1980s styling really well. You can see a modern single rear shock and a floating tail design. It’s a blend of this new-and-old styling that makes the concept so charming. The bike doesn’t really look like much of a concept. Pop some turn signals and mirrors on this bad boy and it’s ready for production. At least it looks that way to me. If Honda chooses to make this, I could see it being a hit with the right crowd of folks, but it really depends on a variety of factors, including performance and price.

Yet again, the stink bug look with little to no weather protection at the back.

Right. The article mentions early 1980s styling. Well, my early 1980s motorcycle had functional fenders, on the front and on the rear. This concept bike seems to have neither.

Yes, the lack of fenders on modern bikes is a real nuisance. As such I was pleasantly surprised when I purchased my 2016 Strom to see a really good fender on the front that did not necessitate a Fenda Extenda. The rear was ok also. That is in sharp contrast with my X-Adv which has a poor front and non existent rear. yet that bike has one of the best chain guards of any bike I have recently owned.
