Honda is gearing up to unveil a new CB1000F SE model at the upcoming Suzuka 8 Hours event, scheduled from August 1–3. This special edition is expected to build on the recently revealed CB1000F concept, which made its first public appearance at the 41st Osaka Motorcycle Show earlier this year.
While official specs are still under wraps, Honda has teased that the CB1000F SE will feature a unique headlight cowl and styling enhancements to set it apart. It’s expected to carry over core elements from the standard CB1000F, including the 150bhp engine derived from the 2017 CBR1000RR Fireblade, housed in a steel twin-spar frame with a dual-sided swingarm.
Suspension duties will likely be handled by Showa’s SFF-BP upside-down forks up front and a monoshock at the rear—similar to the setup on the CB1000F and 2025 CB1000 Hornet.
Design highlights may include a muscular fuel tank, rectangular taillight, and a modern circular LED headlamp, maintaining the aggressive yet refined character Honda’s CB series is known for.
With an official debut around the corner, the CB1000F SE could offer a fresh choice for Honda enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more details as Honda reveals the full model at Suzuka.
