Unfortunately, the announcement day of the real photo of new CB1000R customized model that they foretold on Young Machine November issue (released September 23) has changed.

CB1000R, a street fighter from Europe, will undergo a big change and will be deployed worldwide including Japan. It is based on the current type equipped with the in-line 4-cylinder engine of the predecessor model CBR1000RR (SC57), the emission gas regulation was cleared. In addition, it is redesigned style, and it seems to adopt a volumy tank and a narrowed seat line, license holder set to a single sided swing arm, including a modern style round head LED light.

Before the November issue, this magazine posted the information “It will not be waiting for the show, but the customised specification will be announced on September 22 first”, but the schedule has been changed. However, without having to wait for the Milan show scheduled to open on November 7, the exhibition at the Tokyo Motor Show was almost fixed. First of all, it shows off the customized appearance in Tokyo and officially announces the STD model in Milan after half a month. By the way, the pet name of “HORNET” will be added to it for the European version.

The expected CG of 3 type. From the top, this photo is the image of the basic specification, the street scrambler specification and the TT cafe racer specification of the new CB1000R.
