If you’re looking for an all-rounder with lots of comfort, optional luggage, upright riding position and a blend of power and handling that makes road riding that little bit easier, then the CBF1000 is a bike worth considering.
With an engine taken from the CBR1000RR, detuned and softened slightly, plus a nimble-handling chassis which features excellent brakes, the CBF1000 is so easy to ride that it could almost make an ideal first timers machine.
