Fantasy CG Questionnaire] Celebrating the release of the CB1000F! CB1000F Custom Proposals <Chapter 2> "I want to see harder customization!

The Honda CB1000F wasofficiallylaunchedyesterday (11/14), and as more and more cars are delivered, we are likely to see more and more of them on the streets. This will make some of you want to say, "My EF is different from the others! I'm not like the others! So, in this second installment of our series, we propose a hard customization that is not so easy to imitate. I know it may not look like "F" anymore, but please take a look!All CG in this article are the imagination of the editorial department. We are not affiliated with Honda or any of the parts makers that were used as motifs, so please refrain from inquiring with the makers.

Do we need an image leader to compete with the Z?

The CB1000F has been launched with much fanfare, and even before its release, Kawasaki has teamed up with outside manufacturers to aggressively offer customization options. However, Kawasaki is strong in this field, so the CB1000F will need a lot of awareness to create an image of customization.To do so,Webike Plus wanted tocreate a machine that is more hard-hitting and can be called the image leader of CB1000F customization....The proposal was tocreate a custom that would cite Honda's heritage, but also have the functionality and tourer capabilities of the CB1300 Super Boldor. This is something even the Z900RS can't imitate!If we go this far, the stock image will fade away, so we would like to see custom machines from leading constructors that have left their STD impressions. For example, "That Yoshimura is going this far with a CB? If we can create an image of "Yoshimura has done so much with the CB," users' eyes will change.Although Kawasaki is our rival, from a different perspective, we are "comrades" who are leading the customization industry together, and we hope that the fatal confrontation between Z and CB will give energy to the motorcycle industry...and let us have our own custom fantasy!

What kind of CB1000F Hard Custom do you want?

Candidate 1: The "CB1100R" replica of the "EF".

The CB1100R, which appeared as a production race homologation machine, was the most powerful machine of its time and the eternal dream of F riders. If so, how about a half-cowl version of the CB1100R that aims to replicate the CB1100R with "2021's F"? The tank and tail have also been redesigned to create a replica with an overwhelming aura, making it ideal for the everyday use of 1100R owners.

Honda CB1100R: Based on the CB900F, the Honda CB1100R was introduced in 1981 with the aim of winning production races. It had high-end equipment such as a special chassis and aluminum tank, and was produced until 1983 (see photo).

Candidate #2: How about the "RCB1000", the ancestor of the "RCB1000"?

The development of the old CB-F series was based on the RCB1000, which was a regular winner in endurance races in the late 70's. If that is the case, then going back to the ancestors is also possible... so here is a custom proposal in tribute to the "Invincible Fleet". The large cowl, which is very racy but also windproof, was designed in the image of the endurance racers of the time. It looks like a café racer, but in fact it is a high-speed tourer.

Honda RCB1000: Introduced in 1976 with the aim of competing in endurance races in Europe (the car in the photo). It won the opening round of the season and went on to win the manufacturer/rider championship in its first year of competition with a dominant record of seven wins from eight races.

Candidate 3: It can also do this! Moriwaki Monster

Speaking of charismatic racers of the same generation as the CB1100R and RCB, the Moriwaki Monster, a treasure of the Japanese motorcycle world that has left behind numerous legends, is indispensable.Such a legendary machine could also be recreated by arranging the cowl of the 1100R and RCB replica to recreate the image.The collaboration between Moriwaki and Honda started in 1984 with the "Zero-X-7" equipped with an air-cooled CBX750F engine, and although the engine in the Monster era was a Kawasaki, we would like to use the name of the 1000cc era to match the displacement of the base vehicle!

MORIWAKI MONSTER (1981 model): W. Gardner won pole position at the Suzuka 8 Hours, showing that it was faster than the works cars of the time.

Moriwaki has been actively involved with the CB1000F since before its launch, and in September of this year, the company entered the "Tekima" event race in Kyushu with Toru Ukawa, winning with overwhelming speed, setting a new course record. The know-how gained from the raceswill be actively fed back into the production parts, as is typical of Moriwaki. The company has already announced a custom street vehicle.

Candidate 4) We would like to see that Yoshimura's hard customization!

The connection between Yoshimura, one of Japan's leading constructors, and the CB is surprisingly deep: POP has been actively tuning the CB72/77, and POP also created the world's first assembly tube for the CB750 Fore.So, what would happen if Yoshimura customized a CB1000F?This is a CG createdbased solely on the fantasy of what would happen if Yoshimura customized a CB1000F . However, Yoshimura himself has been hinting on SNS, so it seems that he has started to make some kind of move on the CB1000F. What will happen now?

Krause Honda: The world's first car equipped with a collective tube was the CB750 Fore, which an American Honda dealer commissioned Yoshimura to tune. The photo shows a 1972 model, although the debut of the first model equipped with the assembly tube was in 1971. (Photo: Yoshimura Japan)
