HONDA CB900F Bol D'or (1981-1982) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB900F was a naked motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range, manufactured from 1979 to 1983 in its first generation and from 2002 until 2007 in its second generation. Both generations were powered by a 900cc in-line four-cylinder engine and were classified as roadsters.

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 1982, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB900F Bol d'Or, a motorcycle that didn't feature any changes and came with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, a center stand, cast aluminum wheels, an analog instrument cluster, a blacked-out steel frame, a round headlight, and a chromed dual exhaust system.

For suspension, the model packed an air-assisted telescopic fork on the front and dual damping-adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, while the wire-spoked wheels were fitted with two 280 mm discs with hydraulic calipers on the front and a 297 mm disc squeezed by a hydraulic caliper on the rear that acted as stopping power.

In the performance department, the 1982 Honda CB900F Bol d'Or took its thrust 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.
