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, and used a power plant derived from the company’s then revolutionary CB750KZ. It was an air-cooled, four-stroke, transverse four-cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Cruiser motorcycle. The CB900F's design was aimed at European markets, rather than the usual focus on the United States, where it was not available from the initial launch. At the dealer, the CB900F competed with larger capacity bikes like the Kawasaki KZ1000, Suzuki GS1000, and Yamaha XS1100. Honda's advertising proclaimed the bike to be "a thundering Super Sports bike with devastating performance and an unwavering stamina". Some reviewers described it as "the best Honda had built for the street".

This 1981 Honda 900FA was purchased by the late owner on the 28th of February 1981 from Rye Motorcycles Ltd, Southampton, for the price of £1,585.46, receipt on file. In the late owner's ownership, it has clocked up 42,664 miles. Some work was being carried out by the vendor to recommission the Honda back on the road, but was never completed. Full recommissioning is advised before use. It comes complete with its original exhaust system, original bill of sale some old MOT certificates and a current V5C.
