presentation of the CB 1000 R 2018
With its first CB 1000 R, Honda broke away from its polished side to offer a machine with a particularly virulent style. 10 years later, the streetfighter is back with a whole new definition. Times have changed, and so have trends.
Gone are the days of the Transformers; the new-generation CB 1000 R is now part of the "Neo Sport Café", Honda's nascent styling movement. The result is a machine with an offbeat, powerful style that draws on no single influence to create its own space. There's a clear desire to impose its strength, not in a brawl but in a big boxing match.
To deliver the blows, the engine block comes from the CBR 1000 RR. Clearly lacking in power, it nonetheless produces an evocative 145 hp. Honda doesn't go for the excesses achieved by the Superduke and Tuono, but remains in the orbit of "reasonable" big streetfighters, such as the Z 1000 or Speed Triple. That's not to say that this mill is wise. In fact, it has gained some twenty horsepower since the previous generation. Above all, the engine-makers have focused on delivering a hefty dose of torque at the most common engine speeds.
Strongly committed to visual impact, the CB 1000 R does its utmost to keep the engine block out of the way. In fact, it uses the same chassis structure as its predecessor. A central Monobackbone beam acts as the backbone. This virtually invisible frame is made of steel, as opposed to aluminum on the ex-CB 1000 R. Fans of noble materials will cringe. Others will appreciate the overall weight reduction, which has shaved off 12 kilos and improved the power-to-weight ratio by 20%.
To (re)establish itself on the market, a good dose of riding aids is now a commercial necessity, so the CB 1000 R offers what it needs most. We start with ride-by-wire, then serve up the main course. Four riding modes - Sport, Standard, Rain and User - allow you to adjust the power of the 4-cylinder, engine braking and traction control. ABS completes the package.
With the new CB 1000 R, Honda sets a new course for its roadster family. No bleeding edges or heightened adrenalin. Just muscle and style, skilfully blended for a result that won't leave anyone indifferent.

To answer Hanni, 7.5 l / 100km in the city and 6.75 on road and highway, calculated from my full ' gasoline and km on the odometer. I attack a little !!!
Very lively engine above 6,000 rpm, light bike, easy to handle and pleasant. On the other hand, I don't find it very rigorous in fast corners, it twists a bit. Much less stiff than the previous model, a 2016 that I still own
I'm looking to fit Depretto race-style sport handlebars, but I can't find anything. The one I mounted on the 2016 adds to the control and riding pleasure. I mounted an SC2 concept on the 2020, and it's too straight, making it hard to steer on the highway. Rating : 3/5 Respond to PF_CB1000
The only downside, and I agree with Xavier, is that the low-beam headlights don't light up much, a real design flaw that's quite astonishing from a manufacturer like Honda
Happy driving, and be careful! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Scoubsy
After one year of use of this motorcycle, cb1000r of 2018, I notice that the LED headlight does not illuminate much (I specify that I often ride at night)
Even after several trips to the dealership to adjust the position, and also a test on their part at night (following an email sent by Honda to the motorcycle dealership) it turns out that it is better to ride with full headlight because the low beams do not illuminate anything at all
At present, my dealer tells me that I'd have to add additional headlights (cost: around 200 euros). Unthinkable for me
The design was wrong from the start, and it's up to the owners to do what's necessary
So I'm thinking of selling it and looking for another bike
Just so you know, if you ever need to change the optics on this machine, which looks great, it will cost you around 700 euros, not including labour
Because there's no bulb, it's a printed circuit that lights up, so there's no bulb
Think about this LEd technology without bulbs
So, my question is, do other 2018/2019 cb1000r owners have the same problem? Rating : 3/5 Respond to xavier
J\'ai eu l\'ancienne cb 1000r rien à voir j\'ai essayer la nouvelle elle marche bien une fois dans les toures vers 7000 en dessous ces creux si non parti cycle rien à dire Honda quoi ,mon Nagasaki z 1000sx 2017 marche plus fort.
La cb manque de couple dommage après niveau look spécial mais ça passe ,Honda luce en a préparé ,couleur orange mécanique,ça chance le cb . Rating : 2/5 Respond to Nono
first of all, the new model is late in coming up against some very sharp competition
but what's more, the look is neither retro nor modern, a kind of hybrid that looks like nothing at all
i cherished my old cb, and this model is such a disappointment Rating : 1/5 Respond to cousto
A friend of mine had an RT whose front shock absorber failed, resulting in a 1,800-euro repair bill.
i agree with Boitout, who analyzed the situation well Rating : 4/5 Respond to Vtivtec
as for power, there's plenty left over, but knowing that power is used to drive fast, and in these times, is it reasonable to have more? personally, I prefer torque to power, which is right up there with the competition. plus, we know the perfect balance of a Honda once it's on the road.
after that, the price tag stings a little...
I can't wait to try it. Rating : 5/5 Respond to MTH640

Rating : 1/5 Respond to Goldwing
Try it out to confirm the engine's pleasure. I have no doubts about the chassis.
By the way, the spec sheet mentions a 180 rear tire... isn't it 190 ?
V Rating : 5/5 Respond to louij
Then Honda mentions innovation, but have the engineers found nothing better than to shorten the gear ratios to compete with the MT10, which has a sensational engine (I've had the chance to try it twice, and it just seemed so unrealistic it was ecstatic)? At this price, I'd rather go for a good MT10SP which, with a good second-hand bike, will already be well equipped with accessories. I was waiting for Honda before I could take the plunge, but apart from a classic 4-cylinder with shortened gear ratios, which certainly looks good, I can't see any innovation, unlike its competitor.

And then the cruise control...
And why not a reversing radar and.... 4 wheels and a roof.... ?
That you like all these electronic "crap", which by the way cost an arm and a leg, we understood that. But that you're trying to impose them on others... NO THANKS BOB !!! Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
And I think it's pointless trying to make you understand that I'd rather not pay the extra cost of this gadget and simply apply what I was taught at my driving test.... turn your head!!!
And so the scatterbrain with his broken blind spot detector will fatally crash, hoping he doesn't kill anyone.
Me, if a guy like that runs into me with the pretext that his shit is broken.... I'll kill him with my own hands.
The same reasoning can be applied to any electronic gadget!
Good evening Bob... Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
145bhp is more than enough for twisty roads, where an extra 15 or 30bhp doesn't add anything in terms of efficiency. The previous version was already a fine piece of work. This one's going to take it to the next level!
There's no manga, no more or less assumed transformative delirium, but a timeless line that won't be going out of style any time soon.
Bravo les rouges.
A motorcycle to be ridden, balanced, powerful, a motorcycle for the pleasure of eating up the bends.
