Default Well I never!

I never knew that there was a fully faired version of the Honda CBF1000.

I've seen the half faired versions but this one is new to me, maybe a spiritual successor to the CBR1000F?

Here's a link

I wonder if the seat is still hard as a brick.

Yeah looks a bit thin, never sat on one myself. Was just surprised to see one with full fairing.

Looks a lot like the Pan European - they have one of those on their floor as well.
I have to agree with Hojem............
Also, one of the main reasons to own one has been removed - the Hurricane effect at 6000RPM.....!!!
I'll stick with my old dog until Honda wake up to what they did right the first time.......
and does it again with modern components.
