Hmmm, interesting but I cannot say I love it. It's definitely different.


I do like the back to the 80s CB-F concept, that's cool. The one thing I don't like about modern sport bikes is that jacked up tail section, but the concept has a more subdued tail.

Honda step back in time: New CB-F Concept takes the CB1000R back to the '80s

1100cc twin engine putting out 101hp? That's 25 more than our 1200cc Speedmaster. I don't like that.

The rebels are some of the best bikes ever made and this one will follow along the same line

With the progression of age and arthritis, I have realized that the years are numbered for my beloved rocket. Don't know what the number is exactly but at some point I am going to have to get a smaller lighter bike. This looks like it could be a serious contender. Bet it would be a ton of fun to ride!

Bill, as tall as you are the Rebel will be too small for you, they have a very low seat, even i can flat foot on them

Dang, that is low! On the other hand I wound up getting put together like a orangutan for some reason. For a guy my height, I actually have pretty short legs.


I've ridden the 450 and 250 rebels and they are too little, still a ball though. I was just thinking that an 1100 version would be a good bit larger. Never even heard of the Africa Twin before this thread, may have to see one of those in person.
