[9] Honda had been successful in European endurance racing with their RCB-series RS1000, [7] and had made advances in suspension technology from their experience in motocross, [14] and the company chose to base a new DOHC roadster on their endurance racer.

The successor to the short lived Dream model, it had a series of revisions including a six-speed transmission and what Honda termed as European styling [6] which resembled the CB750F and CB900F.
If anything, the second generation of the CB900F is the CB1100F. If someone were to propose that the CB900F and the CB1100F should be in the same article, I would agree -- though you would then have to consider including the DOHC CB750F, the CB900C, and the CB1000C.
