　　The Honda CB900F was a motorcycle in Honda's range part of the CB series, manufactured over two generations and powered by a straight four-cylinder engine. The first generation was manufactured between 1979 and 1983, while the second generation was manufactured between 2002 and 2007.

　　The first generation of the CB900F featured a design aimed at the European market instead of the usual focus on the US and was known under the Super Sport name like the 750 FZ and FA models, while later models were named after the Bol d'Or endurance race.

　　In 1981, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB900F Bol d'Or, a naked machine that came with standard features, such as a dual seat, a chromed-finished engine and exhaust system, gold-finished cast aluminum wheels, a round headlight, an analog instrument cluster, and a black-finished steel frame.

　　The bike was built around a steel twin downtube frame that housed an air-assisted telescopic fork on the front and a swingarm with damping-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear.

　　As for stopping power, the bike packed two 280 mm discs with hydraulic calipers on the front wheel and a 297 mm disc squeezed by a hydraulic caliper on the rear that offered strong braking performance.

　　In the horsepower department, the 1981 Honda CB900F Bol d'Or took its muscles from a 901cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by four Keihin carburetors and delivered an output power of 95 hp with a peak at 9,000 rpm and 77 Nm (57 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,000 rpm.
