2021 Honda CB1000R design changes
Changes include tweaks to the headlight, where it retains its overall design but is at a more aggressive angle than the flat-looking unit on the outgoing model. Additionally, the Honda branding that split the LED circle now looks smaller. Honda has also opted for a new alloy wheel design. The company has reworked the shape of the panels around the radiator and fuel tank as well.

As its name suggests, the Black Edition features multiple blacked-out elements. Along with the Deep Graphite Black paint scheme, this edition gets the headlight bezel, windscreen, fork mounts, radiator shrouds finished in black.
