In 1979 Honda produced a Double Over Head Cam ([[DOHC]]) 750cc engine that rocked the [[Motorcycle]] industry with its double cams and solid power-band the 750cc engine produced 72BHP @ 9000RPM, this engine was used in [[Honda_CB750F|CB750F]] from 79-82 in the USA.  In 1980 Honda released the [[Honda CB900F|CB900F]] using a race bred 901cc [[DOHC]] engine it was a step above the CB750 with its longer stroke and hotter cams squeezed out 84BHP @ 8500RPM.  The only years the CB900F was offered in the USA where 1980-1982.  

In 1983 Honda gave the United States a chance to own the CB1100F!  This bike was leagues beyond its 2 ancestors.  Using hotter cams, larger pistons, and a redesigned combustion chamber the CB1100F produced 108BHP @ 8500RPM (International model produced 115 HP). Honda also increased the rake and put on a cool 1/4 [[fairing]] for wind deflection.  The dash featured a 150MPH speedometer and 2 piece handlebars.  The wheels are new also they where cast 1 piece instead of the standard com-star or spoke design.  In 1983 only 2 colors offered on the CB1100F in the USA where Red and Blue. A rare Sliver body kit was available but had to be ordered from a Honda dealer. It included both fenders and a gas tank, in a sliver/white paint scheme with a red accent stripe.
