Honda has already shipped the new CB1000F to various other parts of the world. But don't get your checkbook out just yet - there have been oil consumption issues with the motor and numerous recalls have resulted. I spoke to the owner of a Honda dealership in TX and he doesn't expect to see any of these bikes until sometime next year.
At least this retro bike finally came to fruition. Too bad they're having this issue with an engine that isn't new.

| The 2026 Honda CB1000F (and the CB1000 Hornet platform) has been heavily impacted by an excessive oil consumption issue. Caused by manufacturing defects in piston tolerances and low-tension piston rings, the engine can burn oil at a rapid rate, leading to potential engine damage if left unchecked |

Hi Tom, as a UK expat living in the USA I've kept an eye on this oil burning issue, the 1000F was supposed to be launched in the UK last month but this issue has stopped that happening, my guess is by the time these bikes hit US dealers the issue will be corrected, I don't mind waiting until early next year as I've only just added a
Kawasaki Z900RS to my stable and am enjoying it immensely.
I remember when I bought a new CB900F back in 1979 it used a bit oil, so did my GS1000 as well, so I'm sort of used to it.
I also think the price is pretty good as well.
Regards
