The new model combines the classic design of its predecessors with a four-cylinder platform and advanced technologies, offering a modern interpretation of one of the brand&#8217;s most recognizable motorcycles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The launch marks the automaker&#8217;s first official product introduction since the company decided in April to withdraw from Korea&#8217;s automobile market. Despite its falling automobile sales, the company holds a commanding presence in the local motorcycle market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The CB1000F features styling inspired by the CB750F and CB900F, whose designs helped shape the global motorcycle industry in the late 1970s. Flowing body lines, a round LED headlamp, chrome-finished exhaust pipes and a megaphone-style muffler reinforce its retro aesthetic while preserving contemporary functionality, according to Honda Korea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The motorcycle is designed for easy handling and stability. It features a relatively low 795-millimeter seat height and an asymmetrical swingarm to reduce exhaust interference. The motorcycle&#8217;s Nissin braking system also offers improved grip and braking performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Additional features include a 5-inch full-color thin-film-transistor (TFT) display, a smart key system and Honda&#8217;s proprietary Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) anti-theft technology. Honda also offers 13  accessories, including tank bags, side bags, a windscreen and engine sliders, allowing riders to customize the motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">&#8220;The CB1000F embodies the heritage and engineering expertise Honda has built through the CB lineup over the years,&#8221; Honda Korea CEO Lee Ji-hong said. &#8220;We hope riders will experience Honda&#8217;s vision of fun riding through its retro styling, inline four-cylinder performance and exceptional balance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The CB1000F is available in silver and black, priced at 15.98 million won ($10,830).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Honda Korea&#8217;s CB1000F sport motorcycles \/ Courtesy of Honda Korea Honda Korea has launched the CB1000F, a next-generation&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-536423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
