Overview
Introducing the 2021 Honda CB-F Concept—a bold prototype that embodies Honda's relentless pursuit of innovation and performance within the modern motorcycle landscape. With a sleek, retro-inspired design that pays homage to classic muscle bikes, the CB-F Concept is not just a nod to the past but a glimpse into the future of Honda's naked sportbike lineup. Positioned as a cutting-edge prototype, this model serves to showcase Honda's engineering prowess while thrilling enthusiasts who crave a blend of nostalgia and contemporary performance. At the heart of the CB-F Concept lies a powerful 998cc in-line four engine that delivers a staggering 143.5 horsepower at 10,500 RPM and a robust torque of 104 Nm at 8,250 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse promises exhilarating acceleration and responsiveness, allowing riders to carve through twisty roads with confidence.

Coupled with a seamless 6-speed gearbox and a durable chain final drive, the CB-F delivers an engaging riding experience that is both thrilling and refined. The 2021 CB-F Concept is built on a high-tensile steel mono-backbone frame, which provides the perfect balance of strength and lightness. This impressive structure supports an inverted front fork with 120 mm of travel and an aluminum single-arm swingarm at the rear with 131 mm of travel—allowing for nimble handling and a comfortable ride over varying terrain. The braking system features a dual disc setup at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring outstanding stopping power when it matters most. Its aggressive rake of 25 degrees and a trail of 100 mm further enhance stability and cornering performance, making it equally adept on city streets and open highways. **
