Sport touring on the Honda CB900F (Page 3)Actually, the 900’s suspension action is pretty soft and responsive, thanks to Syntallic bushings that Honda uses at various high pressure points inside the forks and shocks. What my two companions weren’t aware of was the 900’s high degree of suspension adjustability. You can vary the air pressure in the fork, and the VHD shocks feature two selections of compression damping, three choices of rebound damping, plus the usual five spring preload selections. To suit my fast, land-strafing style of riding, I had originally set up the suspension rather firmly, with 14 pounds of air in the fork (15 pounds is the recommended maximum), the rear spring preload in the middle position, and the rebound damping cranked all the way up. I called it firm, but compliant; my companions called it harsh. We stopped and reversed the suspension, dropping the fork air pressure to seven pounds and backing the spring preload and rebound damping all the way down. And what do you know: Paul was thinking of trading up again. The whole point of this matter is that the 900F is truely adaptable to all types of terrain and riding styles. After a night’s rest at Canyon De Chelly’s friendly KOA campground (yes, we actually roughed it one night), we pointed the headlights toward Santa Fe, New Mexico. About two minutes after crossing into New Mexico, Paul received a warm red-light welcome from the State Police. Actually, I should have been the one receiving the tickets because I was constantly sampling the 900’s power reserves. How does it compare in power to the 750? Well, there’s no question that the 900 supplies the added low- and mid-range power that has always been lacking in the 750. You can pull out and overtake traffic with greater ease, it doesn’t require as much downshifting when climbing through mountainous passes, and you don’t have to buzz the engine so ferociously to extract the horsepower. But make no mistake: Like the 750, the 900’s brute strength is concentrated at the top of the rpm scale; only difference is, there’s just no need to sample it quite as often. And although the current horsepower race among Japanese factories resides at the 1100cc level, the 900F is indeed the fastest 900cc production bike of all time. I was involved with testing a 900F when I worked for Motorcyclist Magazine, and our test Honda turned a quarter-mile time of 11.96 seconds at 112.45 mph; the best time ever recorded in a magazine roadtest of a stock 903cc Kawasaki was 12.19 seconds at 112 mph. And when you consider that the fastest 750 production bikes, the Kawasaki KZ750 and the Yamaha Scca, turn the quarter-mile in the mid 12-second bracket at around 105 mph, you’ll see that the 900F is quite a substantial step up in the power department. However, I certainly wouldn’t start comparing it to Kawasaki’s GPz1100 or Suzuki’s GS1100 — these two brutes are in a league by themselves. On Tuesday, our fifth day, we pulled into Durango, Colorado, one of the most picturesque tourist towns in the midwest. The main attraction revolves around the Silverton Train. Built in the early 1900s, it is one of the last remaining narrow gauge trains still in operation in the United States. It was originally used (and still is) to transport freight up through the vast San Juan National Forest to the tiny town of Silverton, but nowadays, from May 23 through late fall, its main job is hauling tourists. The charge for a round-trip ticket from Durango to Silverton (about a four hour ride one way) is $18,50, and all the chuff-chuff, clickety-clack and coal cinders in your hair are free of charge. That big 120-ton coal-burning steam locomotive makes for some exciting pictures too, as you can see by this month’s cover. It was Thursday, our seventh day, that the 900 got its first real opportunity to strut its stuff. Between Durango and the quiet little mountain town of Ouray was 50 miles of beautiful snowcapped Colorado Rockies, with long sweeping turns, tight switchbacks that wiggled down the valleys and ominous passes over 11,000 feet up. This was 900F country, just like in Europe. The precision in the way the 900 steers and the way it feels so predictable and surefooted through the corners wasn’t surprising to me. During that previous test at Motorcyclist, I had helped to ride the 900 around Willow Springs racetrack on its 24-hour endurance test. The 900 has the same beautifully blended handling characteristics as the 750: it threads fine, precise lines through corners; it feels surefooted under any condition; it has excellent tires, and it has more-than-adequate ground clearance. But the 900, with its stronger frame and forks, definitely handles those high speed sweepers with a bit more stability and comfort. And that’s a fact, because we had a ‘81 750F on the racetrack alongside the 900. Around the racetrack, the 900 only wiggled its tail once in turn nine, a 125 mph righthand sweeper, whereas the 750 got real sloppy around half the track.
