By the late seventies Honda needed to replace the single overhead cam 750 four and to address the threat posed by their rivals litre class machines. The introduction of the CBX 1000 re-affirmed Honda's technical prowess, but due to cost would never be a mass market machine to rival the likes of the GS1000 and Z1000. The solution emerged as the twin cam CB750F and CB900F models. The new 16 valve engines were housed in cycle parts featuring Honda's latest "corporate" style with Comstar wheels and integrated styling for the tank, side panels and seat unit. In 900 form the new engine produced 95 bhp at 9000 rpm and weighed 233kg, resulting in performance that was comparable to that of its rivals.
This example has been in the present owners hands since 1991, having had three previous owners and until 1994 was his only two wheeled transport. During this period the machine was used for touring including a two week trip to Brittany. Following the purchase of a Pan European in 1994 it has only been used on an occasional basis in good weather. The vendor informs us that he has started the machine on a regular basis, allowing it to come up to normal operating temperature and is offering the machine for sale due to a lack of use.
It is described as running well and the condition of the electrical system, transmission and cycle parts are all described as being ok. The paintwork and brightwork are in good overall condition and are accompanied by a detailed report from the vendor describing a few blemishes. The machine is accompanied by a comprehensive service history with supporting documentation going back to 1991 and MOT certificates from the current one back to 1987.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
