Production years: 1983, 1984
The Honda CB1100F was a standard motorcycle made by Honda only in 1983, based on the CB900F and CB1100R. Besides the distinctive paint job, the bike packed hotter cams, larger pistons, better Keihin carburetors, and a redesigned combustion chamber.
From 1983 to 1984, the bike was available in various markets, such as the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia, while in the US market, the model was available with cast aluminum single-piece wheels and a quarter-fairing that offered wind protection and looks.
The other market’s models didn't feature the fairing, and the wheels were similar to the ones on the Honda CB1000R, in a Gold boomerang Comstar color, and the control cables were routed above instead of below the handlebar.
Also, the riding position was more sporty than the US model, with the rear-mounted footpegs and controls and the lower two-piece clip-on handlebar. The different parts were offered through US dealers as a complete sport or continental kit.
The 1983 Honda CB1100F had its soul brought to life by a 1,062cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by four Keihin carburetors and delivered an output power of 110 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
For suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and two adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, while the braking power was handled by two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and one 296 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
