HONDA CB900F TIMELINE
1979 CB900 F-Z – chassis #SC01-2000042
The first of the CB900s to hit Europe. Designed
specifically with the UK and EU markets in mind, one
of the first Japanese machine to be conceived this way.
Prior to this the US played a large part in development.
1980 CB900 F-A – chassis #SC01-20100001
Distinguished from the earlier Z by the modified forks
that have linked air caps on top of each leg. The Comstar
wheels were also reversed so they look similar but are
in fact inside out.
