Produced by Honda subsidiary Honda Italia Industriale S.P.A. (Italy), the CBF1000 motorcycle was orignally released in the European markets.

The CBF1000, in which the CBF1000 FA is based, has been around since 2006, giving riders performance and reliability that was easy on a motorcyclist's wallet.

These reasons brought additional success to the CBF1000, and the newer version, the CBF1000FA, offers "a stylish new edge, giving the look of this new model a more compact, sporty feel, while keeping all the attributes that continue to make the CBF 1000 family a huge success."

The motor, which is a 998cc Fireblade (CBR1000) derived engine, now features slightly higher compression ratio and about 10 more horsepower.

The motorcycle also features a sporty, single-exhaust end-can. Honda UK says despite this increased power, Honda's frugal PGM-FI system makes the CBF1000FA motorcycle still more fuel-efficient.

As for chassis improvements, the original steel motorcycle frame was replaced by a aluminum unit. Suspension has been improved, and combined with the new aluminum frame, the CBR1000FA motorcycle has better handling and lighter weight.

In addition, Honda's reputed Combined ABS (C-ABS) system is equipped as standard on the UK's CBF1000F motorcycle to further enhance the machine's safety and performance.

In the appearance department, the CBF1000FA features a "racier, slimmer" look to the half-fairing, and also a new dash layout.

The layout includes a large, central analog rev-counter and digital speedometer along with practical touches such as dual trip meters and fuel gauge, which also shows both real-time and average fuel consumption.

Sporty can still mean comfy, as the CBF1000FA motorcycle features a four-position windscreen, three-position seat and adjustable handlebars, as well as six-spoke wheels, Honda UK says.

The current range includes the CBF1000 model, available in both standard and ABS versions priced at £7,075 ($10,612.50 USD) and £7,575 ($11,362.5) (OTR) respectively, with the CBF1000GT motorcycle, which features fairing lowers and a three-box luggage system, priced at £8,425 (OTR).

The new CBF1000FA is available in two colors: Pearl Nightstar Black and Pearl Cool White, and can be even further enhanced with a host of genuine Honda accessories including luggage (top box and panniers both in two size options), heated grips, engine/casing covers, alarm, outdoor cover, U-lock, tank pad and center stand.
