Honda CBF 1000 2006

Honda CBF 1000 2006

The sum of the unspectacular details results in a perfectly balanced motorbike. Lovers of European motorbikes might think, "too sterile, too little character". The CBF cannot and will not force a Tuono, a Monster or an MV out of the garage. It pushes the happy owner out of the garage onto the asphalt every day.

Well-functioning, merciful brakes

quiet, smooth but relatively powerful engine - enables driving concentration.

Neat but unspectacular chassis

lean angle clearance quickly at the limit with a sporty riding style

The predecessor was already able to be ridden in a sporty manner as well as convincing on tours, the new R 1200 R can do even more - thanks to the pannier system (of course at extra cost), travelling is still no problem, but it masters sport even better. Thanks to the now partially water-cooled boxer twin-cylinder engine, it is wonderfully agile - 125 hp may not seem like much on paper, but the engine pushes incredibly and behaves in a cultivated manner to boot. The chassis and brakes also score highly and the seating position is sporty and upright, covering a wide spectrum from wonderful fun to long-distance touring. Unfortunately, BMW also understands the trick with the surcharge list perfectly. The basic model is well equipped with ABS that can be deactivated, traction control that can also be deactivated and two driving modes, but many interesting gimmicks are almost obligatory - and of course drive the price way up.
