CB600F CBR900RR |
The Honda CB900F is a Honda motorcycle made in two iterations which appeared some twenty years apart. Both generations of the CB900F are straight four-cylinder four-stroke 900 cc (55 cu in) roadsters.
The first generation was produced from 1979 through 1983, and was available in the United States in 1981 and 1982. In 1983 it was replaced by the CB1100F. The second generation was available from 2002 through 2007. It is called the Hornet 900 in Europe and the 919 in North America, while the related CB600F is the Hornet 600 in Europe and the 599 in North America. In 2008 the second generation CB900 was replaced by the CB1000R.
In 1969 Honda introduced its flagship CB750 superbike, whose success led to Honda's domination of the motorcycle market. By 1978 the SOHC CB750F2 struggled to compete against more advanced DOHC fours from Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki. Honda needed to reclaim its former dominance, and the company set about developing a successor. Honda had been successful in European endurance racing with their RCB-series RS1000, and had made advances in suspension technology from their experience in , and the company chose to base a new DOHC roadster on their endurance racer.
The CB900F's design was aimed at European markets, rather than the usual focus on the United States, where it was not available until 1981. In Europe, it was initially named Super Sport like the 750 (FZ and FA) later named after the Bol d'Or endurance race. In the market, the CB900F competed with larger capacity bikes like the Kawasaki Kz1000, Suzuki GS1000, and Yamaha XS1100.
