Review of The 1982 Honda CB900F

The CB900F has qualities that satisfy: power, ride smoothness and handling — and an unbeatable price.

When the 1981 CB900F appeared last year, it instantly became one of the best performance buys on the market. A year later, after 12 months of economic porpoising, the CB900F is still a bona fide good deal. It lies just a couple of hundred dollars away from the 750 class, yet it’s from $500 to $1000 under the 1000-1100cc class machines; the 900’s engine has the power to out- speed 750s easily and knock at the quarter-mile door of 11-second 1100s.

It has the greatest dollar/performance ratio in motorcycling: the 900F gives you about the biggest high-level jump for the least number of extra dollars. Here’s the data: $3498 buys an F-bike’s 12.23-second, 109.6-mph quarter-mile performance. The quickest 750 we’ve ever tested, Kawasaki’s GPz750, did a 12.22 at 107.3; the 2-bike costs $150 less. Note, too, that we ran the ‘82 F-bike (unavoidably) during a heat wave, which substantially hinders performance. The ‘81 900F turned a 12.02 ET, which is more representative of the 900’s potential. For comparison, the GPz1100 ran 11.51 at 118.0; that’s impressive, but that also costs nearly $1000 more.

There certainly are other reasons that the 900F is appealing. Handling, for one. The right steering geometry, high-quality suspension components, wide rims and tires, and generous amounts of ground clearance all com- bine to deliver very impressive cornering stability with light and neutral steering. Whether hustling over twisty roads or cruising turnpikes, the CB900F feels comfortably at home.

Nineteen eighty-one’s 900F brought us all this, and 1982’s model continues the trend with a few refinements. On the exterior, the graphics now match the 750 model’s, in last year’s colors. A new petcock now incorporates a fuel strainer to help prevent contamination from entering the fuel system. In the engine, resistor spark plugs comply with FCC (Federal Communication Commission) requirements and the intake and exhaust valves’ guides’ material has been changed to improve wear resistance and durability.

The 1982 900F uses a new set of Bridgestone tires. The front tire’s pattern and construction, and the rear tire’s construction, have been altered. The move reportedly improves tire wear. The F-bike we tested last year had Dunlop tires, and we wondered whether the switch to Bridgestone tires would affect the road-holding qualities and handling compared with the Dunlop-shod machine.

No need to be concerned. We couldn’t detect any difference in the Bridgestone-tired F, even when pressing to the 99th percentile. The bike can be ridden comfortably on the ragged edge, where the tires begin walking sideways and sliding slightly.

The CB900F is a favorite with staffers because it has broad, generous power and accurate, inspiring handling. The rubber-mounted engine runs extremely smoothly throughout its rev range, and in this respect the 900F is a better machine than its 750F counterpart. The 900F’s seating position suits a wide range of rider sizes, more so than the CB900 Custom; the rider can endure many more continuous hours in the saddle without getting kinks. In terms of all-around use, from cross-country trips to high-speed footpeg dragging, the F-model 900 is functionally superior to the Custom. For our brand of riding, the CB900F is more fun, too, and that’s where it’s at.
