Overview
The 2026 Honda CX 500 Turbo CB1000R is a naked motorcycle produced for 2026. Its liquid-cooled, DOHC 998 cm³ inline-four produces 141 hp (105 kW), and the motorcycle weighs 212 kg.
The 828 mm seat creates a tall perch that may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down. At 212 kg, the bike can take more effort to maneuver at low speeds; its chain final drive also needs cleaning and adjustment, and the 15.9 L tank gives no basis for estimating range without fuel-consumption information.
