2024 Honda CB1000R Preview

In addition to carrying over street bike models like the CBR1000RR and CBR600RR, Honda will also leave its CB1000R unchanged for 2024, available in Black Edition trim and starting at $12,999. The newest edition is now available at your local Honda dealership.

Unlike some of the other carryover models, the CB1000R keeps the same MSRP as last year, which is a notch in the plus column. We can also speak to the quality of the bike, having sampled essentially the same setup back in 2021 when the “Black Edition” model first made it to market.

The bike is fantastic on the street, with a powerful midrange, bidirectional quickshifter, nimble chassis, and a decent TFT display panel. The braking feel could be improved, but the power is definitely there to easily bring the 472-pound machine to stop.

The Black Edition update also resulted in a much leaner and more sophisticated-looking machine.

Additional features of note include ride-by-wire, selectable ride modes and torque control, an attractive aesthetic, LED lighting throughout, and a commendable Showa suspension package.

The last major update to the CB1000R was for the 2018 model year, where Honda took the previous-generation CB1000R and dialed up specs with a lighter chassis, better engine, and a more comfortable cockpit. Despite the lack of attention it has received since then, the CB1000R remains a solid liter-size naked bike that holds its own in a crowded and competitive segment.
