Overview

Honda CBF 1000T8 GT

Honda CBF1000T8 GT is sport tourer bike. Powering this bike is engine that derived directly from CBR1000RR, 998cm3 fuel injected inline-4 engine derived directly from the phenomenal CBR1000RR and specially tuned for stronger low-to-midrange torque and a more aggressive thrust of roll-on acceleration.

With attractive twin 6-spoke wheel design looks light, modern and sporty. Wheels mount high-performance wide-profile radial tires and are stopped by a pair of responsive 296mm 4-piston caliper front and 240mm single-piston caliper rear disc brakes.

Honda CBF1000T8 GT comes withQuasar Silver Metallicis priced at £7,193.62.

Honda’s broad range of large-displacement motorcycles provides a strong and highly attractive focus on virtually every facet of riding enjoyment, from kneescratching sports machines, as epitomised by the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade, to fully outfitted touring machines like the Honda Gold Wing and Honda Pan-European. One sort of machine that has been notably needed of late is a good all-rounder that can be called upon to perform well in a wide range of riding applications.

Recently Honda has had great success with the introduction of just such a group of all-rounders in the mid-displacement class, as represented by the Honda CBF600 and its smaller displacement twin-cylinder sibling, the Honda CBF500. Designed to help less experienced riders grow comfortably into the greater performance potential to be had with a midsized motorcycle, these machines also provide amply satisfying performance for more experienced riders. Their versatile configurations also provide a special appeal to riders big and small, especially the Honda CBF600, with its three-position adjustable seat, which gives shorter riders —and particularly women—a more comfortable reach to the ground in its lowest position, and gives taller riders greater overall room and riding comfort in its highest position. With these and other well-considered features and strong, satisfying performance, the Honda CBF600 is proving to have a significant impact on the middisplacement motorcycle class and the riders attracted to it.

Hoping to build on this initial success, Honda’s engineering teams set out to develop the next big step up in performance, to a litre-class machine that offers much of the same easy fun-to-ride appeal as the smaller Honda CBFs, while delivering the stronger and more sporty performance one expects from a big litre-bike. However, rather than pursuing blistering Superbike levels of performance in this new machine, it was decided from the very start that the new Honda CBF would follow in its predecessors’ footsteps by providing exhilarating sportsbike riding fun in a ‘Just Fit’ configuration that a wider range of riders can more fully enjoy. Proportions would have to be kept relatively compact and performance strong where it’s most used: in the low-end and mid-range of the engine’s rev range. With these goals firmly in mind, the Honda CBF development team set out to create a versatile new litre bike that can compete well in its class on many levels.Its name? Simple the Honda CBF1000. Nothing else would do.

Honda CBF1000T8 GT Features

Powerful 998cm3 fuel injected inline-4 engine derived directly from the phenomenal CBR1000RR and specially tuned for stronger low-to-midrange torque and a more aggressive thrust of roll-on acceleration. Three-position adjustable seat can be raised or lowered 15mm from its 795mm standard height to fit a wider range of rider body sizes and provide an easy reach to the ground for shorter riders. Adjustable handlebar mounts can be reversed 180° for a 10mm shift in forward offset that enhances riding comfort for taller riders. Wide-coverage half fairing provides excellent aerodynamic protection against wind and elements on high-speed rides. Two-position windscreen can be easily raised for extra protection if desired. Attractive twin 6-spoke wheel design looks light, modern and sporty. Wheels mount high-performance wide-profile radial tires and are stopped by a pair of responsive 296mm 4-piston caliper front and 240mm single-piston caliper rear disc brakes. Lightweight and rigid reinforced Mono-Backbone frame grips engine as a stressed member in a diamond configuration for optimum rigidity and handling ease. Compliant 41mm cartridge-type front fork provides responsive handling and a smooth ride. Features wider fork span for lighter, easier handling and Supersport-class high-speed control. Dual canister stainless steel exhaust system provides a thrilling note while greatly reducing emissions with their built-in HECS3 catalytic converter systems. Rugged Monoshock rear suspension system with box-section steel swingarm and highperformance HMAS damper provides superb control for the broadest range of riding enjoyment.
