This bike is RARE, it was only manufactured for 1 year. The bike is in excellent condition. The Paint and Tires are like brand new. It runs great and everything functions as it should. In the last six weeks it has had a complete tune up including plugs, oil, breaks and brake fluid, ignition wires, the carburetors were completely rebuilt and synchronized, new battery, etc., etc. There is just too much to list. The bike is ready to ride. Message me with additional questions. I would be more than happy to answer.

The seller isn’t wrong. The CB1100F was built for one year only, and Cycle World called it the fastest stock bike they’d ever tested at the time of its January ’83 issue. It came with hotter cams, larger pistons, four Keihin 34mm CV carbs, and a redesigned combustion chamber pushing 108 hp. For 1983, that was a serious number.
The blue, white, and red livery in these photos is the correct US-market colorway, and it still looks sharp 40 years later. The carbs were freshly rebuilt and synced, which on a four-carb inline is no small thing. The list of recent work is thorough enough to take seriously.
At $9,950 with 12,000 miles, it’s priced at the top of the market. The RSBFS crew covered one of these back in 2017, and even then the conversation was about condition being the whole ballgame on these: worth a read if you want the context. A neglected one isn’t worth much. A clean one with fresh carbs and original paint is a different conversation.
This one looks the part. Whether it’s worth nearly ten grand is up to you and the seller to work out.
Twelve thousand miles on a 40-year-old bike. Plenty of life left, whichever direction you take it.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
