It was heavy, but it was fast. In fact, when Cycle World tested the CB1100F (an evolution of the CB900F) in January of 1983, they called it the fastest stock bike they had ever tested as it was able to hit over 140 miles per hour.
While I personally prefer the Pearl Shell White/Candy Pearl Capiolani Blue paint scheme, this example doesn’t look bad in Pearl Shell White/Candy Pearl Maui Red. Wet weight was around 580 pounds, but thanks to the 1,062cc, 108 horsepower motor you could hit 67 miles per hour in first gear. The US got an optional chin fairing and a slightly different seating position than the rest of the world, and magazine reviewers considered the $3,698 MSRP to be a good deal.

This example has just 7,100 miles and it is highly original. Find this CB1100F for sale in Loganville, Georgia for $6,500 here on Craigslist.
