Honda CB1000R

Latest Update: Honda CB1000R is ready to make its India debut in February 2026. The upcoming Honda motorcycle is expected to get a price tag of Rs 15 to Rs 16 lakh, ex-showroom. Honda will position this flagship model in India’s premium streetfighter or supernaked bike segment.

The Honda CB1000R will likely feature a futuristic, neo-retro design language, hinting at a blend of premium aesthetics and performance. While the retro design adds to its classic appearance, features like a full-color TFT instrument panel, ride-by-wire, traction control system, ABS, and four riding modes make it a modern motorcycle.

One of the stand-out features of the upcoming Honda CB1000R is its neo-retro design with sculpted lines complemented by a brushed aluminum radiator cover, LED headlamp, and single-side swingarm.

Expected to be powered by a 999cc, liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine, the Honda CB1000R will produce 143 bhp and 104 Nm of peak torque. The engine will come mated with a 6-speed gearbox. For suspension duty, the upcoming Honda bike will get a 43 mm Showa SFF-BP in front and a Showa BFRC mono-shock connected via a single-sided swingarm in the rear. The bike will feature 310 mm twin disc brakes at the front and 256mm single disc brakes at the rear.

As discussed, the Honda CB1000R's expected price in India will start from Rs 14.46 lakh, ex-showroom. After launching in the Indian market, the motorcycle will compete with the Harley-Davidson Sportster S, Indian Scout Bobber Sixty, Triumph Speed Twin 1200, and Suzuki Katana.
