The Honda CB 1000 SF heavy duty road bike model was introduced to the public in 1992. Produced until 1997. The motorcycle is equipped with an in-line four-cylinder engine with a displacement of about 1000 cc. Its power is 98 liters. With. The Honda CB 1000 engine has been derated to optimize mid and low rpm. This is done to achieve smooth, confident traction at any point in the operating range.
Successful bike from the past
Despite the relatively short period of production, the Honda CB 1000 model has become in demand around the world. Demand for motorcycles is holding steady today.
It should be clarified that the Honda CB 1000 has nothing in common, except for the name, with the modern Honda CB 1000R naked bike, which has been produced since 2007. Motorcycles are built on two different platforms and belong to different classes.
The Honda CB 1000 is one of those rare bikes that hasn't been upgraded in its entire production period. Only in 1994 there was an attempt to create a modification with a semi-fairing, but the motorcycle was not in demand and a year later it was discontinued.
Honda's road bikes of the CB class traditionally have powerful power plants, the thrust of which varies between 90 and 125 hp. with., which is enough for effective maneuvering in urban conditions, and for dynamic driving on the highway. The speed that the bike can reach is 220 km / h. The 1,000 cc cylinders provide the excess power needed for this. Of course, few owners operate a motorcycle, accelerating it to a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour. Therefore, it can be expected that the resource embedded in the machine is preserved. The durability of a bike can be ensured by careful handling.

Transmission
Road motorcycles "Honda CB 1000" are equipped with a five-speed gearbox. The clutch is multi-disc, in an oil bath. Transfers are switched semi-automatically. The drive to the rear wheel is chain, equipped with a double-sided tensioner.
When adjusting the chain tension, it is recommended to use a special limiter, which guarantees a uniform location of the drive relative to the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle.
Repairability
Given the high manufacturability of the bike and its design features, repairs in artisanal conditions, garages, and sites are not allowed. Some components and assemblies are assembled on a motorcycle using heat-sealing, this is done so that there are fewer bolts, screws and nuts in the mounts.
But precisely because of the thermal method during repairs, in order to remove any part, special dismantling devices operating under pressure are needed. A hydraulic press can only be found in specialized workshops.
A motorcycle in need of repair, replacement of parts and mechanisms is rented to a specialized technical center. Repair of a Honda 1000 is not cheap, but the main amount consists of paying for the work of qualified specialists. Spare parts are inexpensive, and new parts are available at any time, throughout the territory where there are company dealers. Thus, the repair of the Honda 1000 will cost no more than the usual average cost forsimilar event.
Performance features of the model
Driving a motorcycle is not difficult, the main attribute is the throttle, it has a significant power reserve, almost one and a half turns. The movement of the device is extremely soft, responding to the slightest effort.
High elasticity of the engine and a large power reserve allow you not to engage in gear shifting every second. You can move at low speed, for example, in a stream of cars along city streets, even in second gear, even in fifth. The reason for this convenience lies in the technical parameters of the Fireblade motor, perfectly timed and derated to reduce power. In addition, the gear ratios in the transmission of the standard engine have been changed so that the work is dominated by medium and low speeds in the widest possible range.
Running characteristics
Motorcycle suspension is a bit stiff, calibrated for active use. However, at the same time, it effectively extinguishes small potholes and tubercles. In addition, the existing set of settings for the front suspension, damper fork allows you to adjust it according to your own preferences. The same can be said about the rear swingarm suspension with a monoshock, which is also adjustable in amplitude of 120 mm.
A noticeable disadvantage in the operation of the bike is the low ground clearance. Even a low curb can become an obstacle to the exit of the motorcycle. Muffler pipes will inevitably be dented. This circumstanceshould be considered and look for other exit routes.
The maneuverability of the Honda 1000 motorcycle is excellent, the car is obedient, it responds to every movement of the biker. Confidently enters the turn even when the speed is higher than the permissible. It turns out not a turn, but a turn, but this style of driving suits most owners.
Comfort level
The model was originally created for a motorcyclist of average build, so a person taller than one hundred and eighty centimeters experiences certain inconveniences when riding a Honda 1000 due to the relatively short distance along the handlebar-trunk line.
For a biker of normal height, the fit seems quite comfortable. The flat-shaped seat is comfortable, the knees are placed in special niches of the fuel tank, the hands hold the steering wheel, being in the optimal position, without the slightest strain. This landing allows you to drive more than one hundred kilometers without stopping.
