Honda CB description

Offering this Rare 1983 Honda CB1100F Supersport in near mint condition. Stock engine, carbs & airbox. Perfect gas tank and side covers, excellent tail section and front fender. Very good solid stock exhaust. Rebuilt stock Keihin carbs with new Honda NOS floats, tuned and sychronized, New NOS Honda grips, new air filter, new NGK plugs and NGK wires. Runs very strong, and has HUGE torque down low and in the middle, with a clean throttle response everywhere right up to redline. No leaks, and no smoke! Gearbox and clutch are smooth and solid. Wheels are in excellent condition, and brakes work correctly with good power and no drag.

Honda offered this model one year only in '83 as the ultimate evolution of the big air-cooled Twin Cam Honda Fours of the 750F, 900F, 1100F Supersport line. It was a last hurrah really, as the new V-4 Honda's with liquid cooling would be replacing the air cooled inline fours in '84. This bike was converted early in it's life to the standard round headlight style offered in the UK, and in other markets. I don't have the fairing and square headlight. Odometer reads 16987, but can't be verified.

Flaws are few, but I will note them. The seat cover has a small split that hasn't grown, but would need to be re-covered to be perfect. There is is a split in the front fender and light fading, it would need a repair and repainting to be perfect. The tail section has a small place where the decal has been rubbed off, and has light fading. It would need to be repainted with a new decal set, and then cleared over, which the factory neglected to do. None of these flaws are very noticeable, and everyone is always amazed at the bikes age and condition, but I want to disclose them nonetheless.

Clean title in hand.

Questions are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Honda to Shift Mid and Large Displacement Motorcycle Production to Thailand

Tue, 29 Nov 2011

Honda is reportedly moving production of 400cc and larger motorcycles to Thailand from Japan to reduce production costs and overcome the rising value of the yen. According to Japanese news outlet Daily Yomiuri, Honda plans to produce 400cc and 500cc models at a new factory to be built in the suburbs of Bangkok, Thailand. Honda currently produces small displacement models such as the CBR250R in Thailand, with larger models coming out of Honda’s factory in Kumamoto, Japan.

Would you pay £115,000 for this?

Mon, 25 Oct 2010

A HONDA NR750 - one of the most hi-tech production motorcycles ever built - is up for grabs on eBay with an asking price of £115,000.The bike was produced in the early 1990s by Honda to showcase the company's engineering skills; a 32-valve, oval piston V4 engine, Carbon Fibre Composite bodywork and titanium-tinted screen are just some of the revolutionary features that warranted the bike's £37,000 original price tag.This particular 1993 model has covered 5000 miles from new - quite a few for a bike with such a heady price tag. We'd have expected it to come with delivery mileage only. It's being sold by an Essex-based dealer who describes the bike as 'IMMACULATE'.

Honda Project Leader Shunji Yokokawa's first Honda bike was a CB900, which he got when he was a teenager after seeing Freddie Spencer wheeling his way down the Laguna's Corkscrew.Yokokawa has been in the States himself recently, having travelled to the Bonneville Salt Flats to break a world land speed record for a stock 600cc motorcycle.According to the Southern California Timing Association website (you'd have thought the video might have mentioned something about the record?), Shunji was successful in his attempt during August's 'Speed Week', setting an official speed of 170.828mph onboard a CBR600RR.
