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.
Manufactured January 1982, this example is VIN: JH2SC1104DM000657, Engine: SC11E2000866. The seller acquired it from a private party in Ohio through an Iconic Motorbikes auction in September 2024.
True mileage is unknown. The previous owner estimates the bike has approximately 20,850 miles. The current odometer shows 5,354 miles and the previous odometer (not included) shows 15,511.
