The Honda Super Sport series, starting with the 1975 CB750F, was Honda's answer to the growing demand for sportier motorcycles. Derived from the groundbreaking CB750K, the 'F' models featured racier styling, rear-set footpegs, and a 4-into-1 exhaust. The line evolved with the introduction of the dual overhead cam CB900F in 1979, which took design cues from Honda's European endurance racers. The series culminated with the rare, one-year-only CB1100F in 1983, the most powerful air-cooled inline-4 Honda had built at the time.
Collectors are drawn to the Super Sport line for its blend of classic 1970s and 80s styling, reliability, and historical significance. These bikes represent the evolution from the Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM) into the modern superbike, with a direct link to AMA Superbike racing legends like Freddie Spencer. The CB1100F is especially sought after due to its single-year production run and top-of-the-line status, while the CB900F offers a great balance of performance and classic looks. They're known for their smooth, torquey power delivery and are still very usable bikes today.
With an average price under $6,000, the market for these bikes remains accessible for most enthusiasts. The wide price range reflects the variety of conditions available, from neglected projects to pristine, low-mileage original examples. Well-maintained bikes with original paint and exhaust systems command a premium, especially the CB1100F. While the market is stable, values for top-tier examples are slowly appreciating as collectors recognize their importance.
Buying Tips
- Check the charging system. The original stators and regulator/rectifiers are a known weak point, so test the voltage at the battery while the bike is running.
- Listen for cam chain rattle, especially on startup. The automatic tensioners can wear out, and replacement can be labor-intensive.
- Inspect the original exhaust system for rust and rot. Unblemished stock exhausts are very hard to find and expensive to replace.
- Test the brakes for sticking calipers. The dual front calipers can seize if the bike has been sitting for a long time.
- Ask about carburetor maintenance. The bank of 4 carbs requires regular syncing for smooth performance, and clogged jets from old fuel are common.
Based on 76 sales, prices range from $250 for projects to $13,000 for exceptional, low-mileage examples.
