In the late 70s, Honda offered both a CB750F and a CB900F, but the US only got the 750 and Europe only got the 900. Expectedly, neither market was particularly pleased with this decision — the grass is greener on the other side. It took a few years, but Honda eventually appeased the Americans by bringing the 900F over as well. In regards to styling, Hemmings had this to say about the 900F, “Style is a mix of traditional UJM with more modern touches like the beautifully designed upturned rear spoiler.”
The bike boasted some serious grunt for its time, with a respectable 89hp @ 9,000RPM. Not only that, but handling was more than competent, too — a feature made only better by the Comstar lightweight aluminum wheels and tubeless tires. The press loved it – Cycle magazine called it, “One of the best performance buys on the market.”
This example is VIN: JH2SC0107BM004712. The seller purchased the bike in 2022 from a private party and states, “Bought it to restore to running condition. Paint and emblems are in great shape.”
