    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Don't be a hater Octain, Honda has made some great bikes over the years. As have Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha and dare I say, Harley? Well, that last ones a stretch, but.............. :)
 
Beautiful.....A couple of weeks ago a guy in the Flemington NJ area passed me on that same bike. He pulled into the diner, and I followed him in. Really nice guy and former gs owner. The was the second owner and despite having 83k miles on it looked great.
 
Canadian vs. American

Different (gold) wheels, deletion of seat strap, addition of grab rail, anything else?

What's responsible for the increased horsepower? Different emissions standards?

Lower bars,rear set pegs and some other stuff to.IIRC it was mostly emissions stuff that made the HP diff.
 
I prefer the blue base CB1100f in the first set of pics, but those bikes are in my top 10 for '80's motorcycles. Love them!
 
What a score! Love that era when the styling started to go more sport-bikeesque. I have 2)83's myself and love them. Very clean example of a bike I would love to own one day too.
 
So, as the recent purchaser of the same bike, I am dying to know how much this minty one set you back. You can probably get at least 6 for such a clean one.

Well, he was asking $3500, but said it was running when I talked to him that morning. I already had my trailer hooked up and was on my way to Canton anyway for the HOF weekend, and looked at 2 other bikes on the way up so it was just perfect timing. I passed on the first two because they were a bit "misrepresented" and the sellers were asking too much, plus I really wanted to look at this F. When I got there and it wasn't running, I immediately knew I could get it for less, I pointed out a few small imperfections, did the back and forth dance and eventually beat him down to 2K. I know, I know, highway robbery but it wasn't my job to research the bike and it's value. He had a GARAGE full of mint bikes he had gotten from this same estate sale, most of them were newer Harleys, which I assume he knew more about that this "old Honda". He kinda acted like it didn't interest him at all and he just wanted it out of the garage! I've been looking for one in this condition for YEARS, and it basically fell into my lap. I'd be hard pressed to let this one go, but yea, I was thinking 6K was a good guestimate of value, maybe higher on eBay if a couple overseas bidders get interested!!!

That's what it's all about, buy low and sell high, my entire collection has been built doing exactly that. It's easy money, and if I wasn't doing it, somebody else would be.
 
I know, sometimes I hate myself too, but not in this instance.......... :)
 
Not many left around here either...found this one..good for you on the bike...looks like it has lots of potential..I wouldn't feel guilty about the price..yes it was good but not good enough that it was a complete steal. IMO:)

Definitely in my top 10 of all time. And you stole it too. Good job.
 
That's a very nice looking F! Mirror image of mine! One of the best looking Honda's ever made IMHO!
