Honda is a Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturing company. Honda got it’s start in the United States selling smal motorcycles in the early 1960’s. Honda’s performance motorcycles are regarded as among the best in the world. The Honda CBR1000F was introduced in 1987 as Honda’s first fully faired sportbike. Owners today can easily restore and maintain these classic street bikes using a Honda CBR1000F workshop manual.
The CBR1000F was powered by the 998 cc inline four cylinder engine. Throughout the nine year production run, the dual overhead cam engine remained largely unchanged. The Honda CBR1000F received only three revisions primarily to address the streamlining properties of the fully faired bike.
The CBR1000F got the slick Honda DCBS braking system in 1992 along with a major cosmetic overhaul. The Dual Combined Braking System (DCBS) allowed riders to vary braking strength between front and rear by engaging two of three pistons when using either the front or rear brakes and engaged one piston in the opposite system.
The CBR engine was a water-cooled dual overhead cam motor that produced 136 hp. Honda CBR engines are known for smooth operation and a consistent power band that allows riders to enjoy the snappiness of a race bike on a street-legal motorcycle.
CBR1000F motorcycles are easily customized and aftermarket companies today continue to sell exhaust kits, appearance add-ons, and numerous other custom parts designed for the bike. The wide range of options and legendary Honda reliability make the Honda CBR1000F a great motorcycle for any rider.
The CBR line of motorcycles has become among the most popular street bike model on the market. Today, the CBR1000F is considered a classic collectible, but many thousands are still ridden daily. Maintaining these high-performance motorcycles is not difficult for the average home mechanic.
