The Honda CB900F is a Honda motorcycle made in two iterations which appeared some twenty years apart. Both generations of the CB900F are straight four-cylinder four-stroke 900 cc (55 cu in) roadsters. The first generation was produced from 1979 through 1983, [1] and was available in the United States in 1981 and 1982.
The term drag area derives from aerodynamics, where it is the product of some reference area (such as cross-sectional area, total surface area, or similar) and the drag coefficient. In 2003, Car and Driver magazine adopted this metric as a more intuitive way to compare the aerodynamic efficiency of various automobiles.
A Suzuki GSX-R1000 at a drag strip – a 2006 model once recorded a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.35 seconds. This is a list of street legal production motorcycles ranked by acceleration from a standing start, limited to 0 to 60 mph times of under 3.5 seconds, and 1 ⁄ 4-mile times of under 12 seconds.
Honda CB350F Honda CB50R 2004. The CB Series is an extensive line of Honda motorcycles. Most CB models are road-going motorcycles for commuting and cruising. The smaller CB models are also popular for vintage motorcycle racing. [1] The related Honda CBR series are sport bikes.
With power typically being the product of force and speed, a motorcycle's power and torque ratings will be highly indicative of its performance. Reported numbers for power and torque may however vary from one source to another due to inconsistencies in how testing equipment is calibrated, the method of using that equipment, the conditions during the test, and particularly the location that ...
Drag coefficients in fluids with Reynolds number approximately 10 4 [1] [2] Shapes are depicted with the same projected frontal area. In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: , or ) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.
The sub-transmission involves a jack shaft that allows the rider to select a "high" or "low" range for the five gears, [3] effectively giving an overdrive 6th speed for cruising. Full Honda accessories , ( fairings , lower leg fairings, saddlebags and trunk) were available to help make the CB900C a touring motorcycle .
I believe air-cooled motorcycles existed 100 years before Honda came along. A 1930's Brough pulled 130 mph, same top speed as the Honda. Desmodromic heads, anyone? I enjoyed my Rolladoor but my next bike was a GSX 1100 Suzuki. It thrashed the Honda in every aspect except finish & groundclearance (I kept wearing holes in alternator covers).
