The principal combatants however, were not against Americans. Rather, they were Asian motorcycle manufacturer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that were trying to win the hearts and minds (and dollars) of the American consumer. Honda introduced the CB900-F in the USA in 1981 against competition from the likes of Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha whose larger 1000 and 1100 cc bikes were already on the market. Despite being outdone from a displacement perspective the good looks and performance of the CB900 series gained admirable respect from the motorcycle buying public. Running the quarter mile around 12 seconds at 130 MPH, the CB900 was plenty fast enough for most people and one of the chief complaints was that during high speeds the wind pressure caused arm fatigue because of the high handle bars.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> This is an Academy-Minicraft \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Super-Deluxe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Series Honda CB900-F Motorcycle 1:8 Scale Model Kit #1546 Review.
