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.
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.
In 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer presented the CB1100F model, styled like the 1875-1978 classic CB400F and packed twin shocks, a tube frame, and an air-cooled engine similar to the one used by the 2006 CB750.
In the performance department, the 2007 Honda CB1100F took its thrust from a 1,100cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered excellent power and torque matched by great handling, but the maker never improved the prototype to create a new series.
Also, in 2009, Honda presented a revised concept at the Tokyo Motor Show, called CB1100, which came in two versions, such as the standard one and more café-racer-styled machine with a black exhaust system, black fender, bikini fairing, and a tapered rear seat.
