I hope everyone reading these comments, realize how hard of a decision it was to sell that bike!! But I knew that Kaplan cycles would finish it proper!! Way to go guys,nice work!! I can only hope that whoever buys it,appreciates it as much as I did.btw,that's all original paint on that bike!!
@@darrinwoodward14 thank you, I just bought one and had a hard time pricing it. 22K seems like the way top of the market for the bike. But it is one year only, so…….
@@haulingfuel4759 seen one sell on mecum for 25,but that was about 5 years ago.have an 01 zx1100d with only 8 thousand original.in a couple years when it hits vintage,im putting it up for sale also.should bring around 15 when it hits 25 years old.
i had a canadian model blue with gold rims, round headlight and no fairing back in the day! the last of the traditional styled motorbikes! ...kicking myself for ever selling it
Good evening peeps, With a heavy heart I need to pass on info that a family member has passed away. Mike (too tall) Bell. He had a heart attack yesterday while mountain bike riding. So sad. He was a hell of a human being. He was one that pushed that envelope always. Hell of a fisherman also. Please raise your drinks in remembrance to a true legend in the moto world. He'll be missed for sure. Love you Mike.
Clearly if you had that bike for the time period. You were king of the road. My buddy bought one,same color. We seen what that bike was capable of. Not long after I bought one,then my best friend. We all had red&white ones. Great bike,great times great era. God bless.
I'll disagree with you about the CB900F... it was an awesome machine, one of the best handling machine of the time period if not the best handling... as a 900 it was down on HP compared to other 1100's but that's a given. The CB1100F was a "stroked" 900 and it didn't rev as freely as the 900. On the 1100 the front wheel was larger and there was a slight change to the front end geometry which meant it didn't handle nearly as nimble as the 900.... I owned both machines. Loved both of these machines.
Im a factory honda motorcycle tech and Ive always wanted this bike because its my birth year and if Im not mistaken it was the only year honda produced that bike.
I bought a Nighthawk 700s in Blue in 1984. It was the smoothest, best sounding new bike of it's day. I would ride it 6 hours from camp Lejeune NC to Baltimore on the weekends to see my girl, I'd put my feet up on the front blinkers to stretch out my legs cruzin up i95 110 mph, no cops at 2-3 am. Great memories
Lovely bike. I’m lucky enough to have a new CB1100RS painted in these colour’s. If people can just look past peak bhp figures and enjoy the bikes as they are they are terrific.
Man ya there's ya a dream bike back in the day I used to work at the Honda shop en somma the regulars came on these bikes when they would leave just about everyone there would drop what they were doing to watch these guys do them 12 0clock nooner for a mile up the hiway as they left
I bought a new 900 super sport.I put a a sport fairing & 4 into 1 headers.,good handling bike,cheap3 grand in 81 .once it got past 3,500 rpm things starting happening & quick.nimble too.
Wow if you felt the need for speed back in 83,this was one of the go to bikes. My brother had a GPZ 750,My goodness what a weapon. One sure way to the promise land.Amazing bike and before your time JR But I'm sure you can appreciate. God bless.
I had a cb1100fd in Sydney when they came out, same duco as this one. I knew all the cb1100r's very well. Mine (the Australian spec) was specd with all the gold stuff, & light stuff from the cb1100rd - you didnt see them like that overseas. The cb1100fd was much more refined than the cb1100rd and had a better electrical system, amongst other things. The fairings on the R's rattled, flexed and banged your knees. My D was the fastest production motorcycle, and I always seemed to out-accelerate my friends on the R's, and they me when we swapped. I ownd a gpz1100b2 as well. I have known or owned most of the flagship Honda's and Kawi's from 1979 until the early 2000's and always felt the cb1100fd and the first model (carburated) cbr1100xx met my broad needs beautifully, day after day in Sydney, touring/dicing with friends to motorcycle camping rallies, and visiting farms in the outback. I think the current touring specd Ninja H2 would be the easy choice now if I needed to do it all again. In summary, I reckon the cb1100fd was the premier sport-tourer of it's day, and it was much easier to live with and just as fast as the cb1100rd.
beautiful bike. I used to have one when i was stationed in Alaska (1995). Paid $300 not running... sold it not running for $600. perfect condition except that it didn't run, 11k miles. Cam Chain tensioner broke and i didn't have the money for rebuilding at that time. Thanks for the history lesson also. awesome bike.
speaking as a 70s guy that sold motorcycles in four different dealerships in the 70s through 90s. I’ve owned a few dozen motorcycles. And I can tell you that these in-line air cooled four-cylinder bikes, Sound and feel pretty much exactly the same. They all have that high frequency buzz caused by the Pistons stopping at the end of their strokes together..Have you ever heard the saying, if you tried one, you’ve tried them all, that pretty much applies here. Like women, they all look slightly different but they all feel the same
Hey Kenny, awesome film work your interest in film shows here. I know your not reading off a teleprompter and this shows you know your shit! I am the guy you met a few months back in that Straight Piped Red Abrath. Great Stuff!!
That's a sweet bike. Sounds great, looks great and nothing else could touch Hondas in those years for build quality, IMO. I had a 84 VF1000F.in the 90s, and that was a bad ass machine, the same color scheme as the one in the video. Magnificent machine, and very fast and fun, comfortable, and a fairing that did something. I have a ZX-14R now, and I love it, it's also furiously fast and fun my only dislike is the windscreen (looks awesome, but basically useless)
Thanks for memories! But mine was 750 & black! I crashed over embankment, saving myself from 2 loaded log trucks racing, head to head, filling up entire roadway between Estacada an colton Oregon. Too bad, they just kept racing, 2 women in car much later helped me from under bike!
I have one of these that was given to me after sitting 10 years in a buddy's basement. Took me 2 years to get it running. It's got an 85mph speedometer. I laugh every time that bike wraps that thing.. the fork oil in mine requires automatic transmission fluid. Thought that was neat.
Oh the memories! My first bike was the Honda MB5. After about a year, I developed better skills and graduated to the Honda FT500 Ascot. Then feeling even more honed after about another year, took a ride to the dealer where I bought it and rode home on a CB1100F. About 2 weeks later, a Kerker 4 into 1 was installed. From that point my neighborhood was treated to a well orchestrated sonic symphony with me as the conductor....whew...those were the days!!
In 1983, here In Canada, Honda made available 3 ridiculously low priced bikes. My beloved CX650E, which had a similar shaped, steering mounted fairing. Another one was this bike. Totally naked (no fairing), and some gold plated engine covers. Both esthetic masterpieces. Neither had really good trannies. Aside from that...
I personally think that’s one of the best looking Hondas they ever put out and it’s a bad ass that some bitch looks great bro amazing I’ve been getting hit after hit on these videos on my Facebook I love it bro💯💪🏾💪🏾🔥👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
That bike is absolutely drool worthy. Beautiful paint job, and I already know how quick she is. Would absolutely love to have that bike. Spoken like a True Patriot Jr. This country, with such low morale these days, with a bumbling idiot as a President, that has to be babysat by his handlers 24/7, needs more people like the Kaplan Family, to raise the morale, and bring back Patriotism. Gotta love the Kaplan Family. It would be a privilege to be a member of your family. If I ever win the powerball, I will be buying more bikes from y'all. Much love and respect, from your biggest fan in New Orleans, La...Now, sadly, the Murder Capital of The World. Delusional and Radical Democrats, and their laughingstock Mayor, Latoya Cantrell (Latoya The Destroyer) are what made the Beautiful City of New Orleans go to shit.

Do you know what they sold it for?

It is. Way different.

Why do older bikes look and sound better then new bikes ? just beautiful.
I bought one of these this summer, what a bike!! Sweet, sweet ride. Boy does it run.

This was a cool era for Honda's , reminds me a little of one of my favorite bikes the Honda Nighthawk CB700 SC another air cooled fast bike
Sweet. I always wanted a Nighthawk. Super cool.
My dad had a 1981 cb900f2 bol d'or. These are really cool bikes!!!
One of my bucket list bikes, and that is one beautiful specimen. That will sell quick, and go to a great home.

Kaplan's and crew are doing God's work
Enjoying this style of videos Jr...keep up the good work!
Real bikes for real men
5 invisible hinges in the frame, be brave, afraid or both! was a fantastic bike, 3 gear power wheelies when I was 21! loved it
I had one for a bunch of years and it will always be one of my fav bikes ever..I wore it slap out by the time i was done..:)...
THIS IS THE BEST MOTORCYCLE IN ZEE WORLD!

Hey jr. Is that front tire on backwards?
My dad had a kz1000. Love the old school super bikes.
i love these bikes. my cousin has the blue and white with gold wheels in Canada.
Thanks for memories! But mine was 750 & black! I crashed over embankment, saving myself from 2 loaded log trucks racing, head to head, filling up entire roadway between Estacada an colton Oregon. Too bad, they just kept racing, 2 women in car much later helped me from under bike!
The good ole 80s.
@00:30 I had an instant smile..
I just bought one. 15,000 miles. Original except non painted side covers, kerker exhaust and mirrors missing.
I have one of these that was given to me after sitting 10 years in a buddy's basement. Took me 2 years to get it running. It's got an 85mph speedometer. I laugh every time that bike wraps that thing.. the fork oil in mine requires automatic transmission fluid. Thought that was neat.
Why does yours have coil spring shocks and some have just one center airshock ?
I knew two guys that had them when they came out. One turned into a drag racer and the other a road racer.
Good video I had 1981 cb 750 f nothing but fun.
These bikes were the best bikes of there time
Always wanted one of these. Today your lucky to find a nice one.

Damn wish i had one
If only Honda would import the CB1300F to the States. It has the same vibe as this bike. I've been waiting over 20 years for it.
In 1983, here In Canada, Honda made available 3 ridiculously low priced bikes. My beloved CX650E, which had a similar shaped, steering mounted fairing.
Another one was this bike. Totally naked (no fairing), and some gold plated engine covers.

Aside from that...
Congratulations on a beautiful motorcycle.
LOVELY MOTORCYCLE. DID THE USA NOT GET THE CBX750F BACK IN 83/84
Is it still available?
Awesome rare bike. 😎
I'm surprised with such a low mileage bike, that the seat has been recovered. This bike deserves an OEM reproduction pattern cover.
The front tire is on backwards
Nice catch lol!
your head is on backwards
Lmao
No it’s not, that is correct with the V facing up.
@@jimccc9467 so the back tire is backwards then. There opposite just look
Very cool bike I've been lucky enough to get to ride a couple of them but never owned one, they were not as nice as that one but great bikes.🇺🇸
AWESOME bike!

Mines got a radiator behind the front tire in the mud flap area .
Beautiful bike ! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the history lesson. Sexy piece of history.
