	Honda CB1100F (1983) American Model Shortly after its debut, the 1983 the CB1100F earned a reputation as one of motorcycling's true superpowers, easily the most potent air cooled inline four Honda had ever built. This was Honda's first 1100cc super bike with a claimed 108hp on tap. While more powerful than the 900 (up by almost 20hp), it also weighed about eight pounds more fully fueled. Although the factory claimed 108 horsepower, dyno figures pegged the 1100F at 95.79 real world horsepower; good for almost 145mph.
	Honda CB750F (1981) In 1979 Honda introduced a new, more powerful version of the 750 Super Sport to the world, the CB750F Super Sport. This bike came with a newly designed 749cc, 4 cylinder engine, dual overhead cams with bucket and shims instead of rocker arms, and four valves per cylinder making 72hp. This bike raised the bar with its superior engine performance and handling, making it stand above the rest in its class.
	Honda GL1200 Gold Wing Aspencade (1985) 1985 saw Honda bring in the GL1200LE for that year only. The LE had computerised fuel injection, auto levelling rear suspension and a sophisticated trip computer. The fuel injection, while not entirely without it's faults in the real world, transformed the GL1200 into a real animal which made the carburetor models seem sluggish in comparison. The LTD was only available in two-tone gold/brown.
