Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 1983 Honda CB1100F. Please note: VINData incorrectly lists the bike as a 2013.
Built for just one year, the Honda CB1100F was a sleek looking standard that evolved from the 900F. In the process, it had tremendous performance –- in January of ’83, Cycle World said, “The Honda CB1100F is a high-performance match for any 1100, in terms of speed and acceleration and handling and braking ability, and has superior cornering clearance as well.”
The 4 cylinder engine produced 108 horsepower, good for a top speed of 139 miles per hour. During testing reviewers even found that, “In the half mile, the CB1100F reached 141 mph, faster than any other stock bike we’ve tested.”
There were two paint scheme options: Pearl Shell White and Candy Pearl Maui Red with black accents, and Pearl Shell White with Candy Pearl Capiolani Blue with red accents.
This example is VIN: JH2SC1103DM000892. The seller purchased the bike ten years ago and states, “I always wanted an ’83 1100F and found this one on a road trip in IL.”
The odometer shows 4,806 miles.
