Styling cues are borrowed from the CB600F. The engine is taken directly from the 2007 CBR1000RR and is expected to produce around convert|125|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on. The front suspension uses a convert|43|mm|in|1|abbr=on inverted HMAS cartridge-type telescopic fork with stepless preload with compression/rebound adjustments and convert|120|mm|in|1|abbr=on cushion stroke. The rear is a monoshock with gas-charged HMAS damper featuring 10-step preload and stepless rebound damping adjustment and convert|128|mm|in|1|abbr=on axle travel.

The CB1000R continues Honda's goal for "mass centralization", a recent Honda trait where they attempt to place as much weight as low and centralized on the bike as possible.
