First Look: 2010 Honda CBF1000

This great motorcycle from Honda is a winner in Europe, but it is not seen in many other areas of the world. The US certainly does not get any of them, and that is a shame. Of course, the US doesn't like 'naked' sportbikes as much as other nations, so Honda knows that not many of them will sell here. As to the CBF1000 itself, it possesses the engine from the CBR1000RR, but tuned for torque and low-to-mid range power delivery. It is a sport machine built for people in the real world who want to ride and ride and ride...

This bike will ONLY be sold in Europe as the exchange rate between Euro and Pound is so twisted now that the bike would cost more than the U.K. CBF1000 equipped with ABS by some £1000 - and that is just not going to sell bikes. However, I must make special mention of those integrated front turn signals - don't those look so much better? Kawasaki does this on some models and it works great; I wish others would follow this direction.
