The Honda CB900F was produced between 1979 and 1983, and it was the first production bike with a 16-valve 4-cylinder engine. The CB750F (that the United States got) and the CB900F (that Europe got) were issued at the same time. While the U.S. only got the CB750F in 1979, Europe got the CB900F. The CB900F was introduced to the U.S. around two years later, in 1981.

P.S. I was told that the CB750KZ, was issued in 1978 in the States, and that may therefore be the first one with a 16-valve engine. I am sceptical and not sure about this though, since as far as I know the 16-valve engine was introduced in '79. However, I felt I should mention such a comment here.

The featured bike is an FB (1981).
The video was filmed on 15/09/2019.
