New Honda’s 2027 Motorcycle Models Wow Riders

Today’s Honda confuses me. It’s like you have two competing corporate ideals, one is listen to what riders want, the other is ignoring riders completely. Take the new CB1000F. It delivers timeless appeal of an air-cooled-era standard with the capability and refinement riders expect from a modern Honda. Bingo. But they then don’t use analog gauges. That’s a very odd admission. Forgivable but what a miss. Then you have the hard push E-Clutch and DCT divisions to remove or restrict shifting, a fundamental point of enjoyment on a motorcycle. It adds complexity, adds cost and rider’s don’t want it. But let’s take away the choice from riders. Then there’s it’s the push for eBike’s in the line, even though they just don’t sell. And don’t get me started with unnecessary intrusive technology being added more and more and for what? Why? Rider’s hate that stuff.

The new 2026/2027 Honda CB1000F is brilliant, I can’t wait for Honda to send me a unit to review; “The CB1000F is a tribute to one of the most iconic eras in Honda motorcycling,”, we will see! The returning 2027 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, 2027 Honda CBR1000RR ABS and 2027 Honda CBR1000RR for the streets are really nice. You’ll also be wow’d by the new updated 2027 Honda CRF450RL dual sport, new trail 2027 Honda CRF450X and competition 2027 Honda CRF450R HRC Works Edition, 2027 Honda CRF450RL and 2027 Honda CRF250R HRC Works Edition.

The new Honda’s 2027 Motorcycle Models Wow Riders, hopefully that includes you too.

On a side note, I’ve been test driving cars in the past few weeks and have noticed the newest models have a ton of unnecessary intrusive technology. From camera’s on the steering wheel of Cadillac’s that watch your eyes live just incase they don’t look at the road for a few seconds and will shut off the car. Touch sensors that will read your blood alcohol percentage, sensors to detect alcohol in the cabin. And Mini’s “MINI ID” and BMW’s “BMW ID” that will scan your phone for the MINI/BMW app, identify you, display your full name and adjust the car based on that information and you can even text your car’s “key” to anyone in the world. Geofencing technology, speed limiting technology, self-driving technology and that’s some of the new stuff. Oh, and cars now connect to “The Cloud” with 4G and constantly transmit your speed, GPS location, diving route, speeds, when you apply your brakes, what stores you pass, etc, etc. Why? And this is coming to motorcycles too.

Let’s see the new Honda’s that were just released:
