1982 Honda CB900F - No Reserve I have a beautiful 1982 Honda CB900F with 4,783 original miles. I bought a CBX and this bike needs a new home. Look at the condition of this bike in the pictures. Garaged it's whole life. It still has the original paint, shocks, exhaust pipes (Small Ding in pipe see picture), air box, mirrors, blinkers, seat and wheels. Frame is still glossy black and not repainted. This bike gets compliments all the time. Bike starts right up and runs great. The Bridgestone tires are original and should be replaced. I installed progressive fork springs and fork oil in place of the original air-assisted fork that was fitted with the Honda TRAC (torque reactive anti-dive control) anti-dive system. The front brake master cylinder had to be replaced with a newer style Honda master cylinder which was listed as a replacement by Honda. These bikes are getting harder to find in nice original condition. No disappointments. Additional Information: Available for just two years in the US, the CB900F Super Sport was made famous by Fast Freddie Spencer in Superbike racing. The 901cc inline four engine put out 89 horsepower and 56 pound-feet of torque, good for a top speed of about 135 miles per hour. Honda originally did not plan on importing this bike to the US because we already had the flagship CBX. But plenty of American riders still wanted the bigger, badder version of the CB750F – and they were rewarded in ’81 and ’82. The press of the day loved it, and for good reason. “If you are familiar with Honda’s CB750F, you’ll feel right at home on the 900,” said one mag, noting that dimensionally the two bikes could pass for twins. They also mentioned that it was readily apparent that the bikes were developed at the same time. For its day, the 900F was a very serious piece of machinery. These were the days before liquid cooling and hiding everything under a plastic shell, and while the CBX had more power, it also had lots more bulk (40lb worth). And by the time of the 900’s debut, the big CBX was being dressed with a sport fairing and hard bags, and billed more as a GT or a sport-tourer. The 900 got to be the hot rod, and it was happy with its new duties. Cycle called the 1982 model “one of the best performance buys on the market” and said it was a favorite due to its “broad, generous power, and accurate, inspiring handling.” For 1982, the 900Fs got graphics matching the CB750F model, a new petcock that incorporated a fuel strainer and new Bridgestone tires along with a few other minor upgrades.
