    1983 Honda CB1100F

    I picked this 1100F up this morning. It has been a while since I have owned one. Decent shape, needs a starter clutch. I didn't here it run, really didn't need to based on the price. However, I was told it was ridden all last year without issues.

      Nice score. Did you steal it or give an arm for it. I'd like to have one, but they run a little pricey down here.

        I think an outsider would say I stole it, around these parts.....not so sure.

          What would you take for the trip meter reset knob??? Mine's broke & they're as scarce as hen's teeth. Congrats, looks good.

            Ha! I know what it is like trying to find a Cooley clock knob, so I better keep this one with the bike!

              Those are nice bikes. That one seems to be in good condition, I like that color scheme.

                Nice! Last year I had a brief chat with a guy with the same bike. Beautiful. Bone stock, 30k something miles. He was the original owner.

                  It's is nice shape, I would give it a 7 out of 10. It came with a box which included the stock air box, as well as coils, starter and a relay or two. I am thinking the coils mayhave been upgraded.

                    What year is it?

                    What did you pay?

                    the only year they offered them in the US was 1983...red or blue
                    kinda like the 83 1100E...the red is common and the blue is not very common.

                      Very nice! Oh, and very fast. Final nail in the coffin for the CBX and the speed wars that preceded it.

                        Rob, you seem to have fixated on my use of the plural, which is more inclusive (or exclusive) than the singular. It has no more to do with religion than "zounds," or "holy s#it."

                        I think the Harley is mucking with your critical thinking.

                            I have to say it...nice you got one of the faster RED models.
                            Having both fork caps is almost as rare as the reset knob.
                            As you know the Supertrapp is a big bonus as well.
                            Looks like CBR plug wires. Was the seller from the 1100F site?
