Honda file

1989 brought the first significant revision of the CBR1000F (SC24). It gained a redesigned front fairing for better wind protection, improved front suspension, wider radial tyres (120/70 and 170/60) and a revised cam chain tensioner. Power was claimed slightly up but weight also rose, with dry weight going from 222 to 232 kg.
