The '''Honda CB900F''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] from 1981 to 1983 then again from 2004 to 2007, being called the '''919''' in this later iteration.
 
The '''CB900F''' first appeared in 1980 as Honda’s latest foray into the ever-increasing naked muscle bike market. The machine took styling cues from its bigger brother, the [[Honda CBX1000|Honda CBX1000]], and used a power plant derived from the company’s then revolutionary CB750KZ.

The [[Honda|Honda]] CB900F (also called the 919 in the US and Hornet in Europe) is a "standard" or "naked" style motorcycle based on a sport bike engine but with a more upright seating position and revised engine and gearing, providing performance and comfort between a typical sport bike and a cruiser. It was introduced in 2000 and its last model year was 2007. It was replaced by the [[Honda CB1000R]].

===History===
==History==


The CB900F is powered by a retuned Honda [[Honda CBR900RR|CBR900RR]] engine, developed by Tadao Baba, one of Honda's Large Project Leaders. The motor is a transversely mounted, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 919 cc (56.1 cu in) in-line 4-stroke 4-cylinder DOHC engine that produces around 100 hp (75 kW). The engine utilizes cast camshafts and pistons instead of the pricier forged items. For greater midrange punch, the CB900F's camshaft profiles are milder and compression is slightly lowered. Four 36 mm (1.4 in) fuel-injection throttle bodies take the place of the CBR900RR's 38 mm (1.5 in) carburetors. Redline happens at a 9,500 rpm and the bike has a six-speed transmission.
