CB 900 Deal or Not
« on: April 26, 2009, 08:19:19 AM »
Found this CB900 for sale locally, haven't had a look at the bike yet, but does anyone have any opinions or knowledge of these bikes. The one negative is the insurance costs for a larger cc bike up here is ridiculously high.

I always liked the thought of owning a 10 gear bike.

Dunno tho....burning oil sounds like a problem.

Once its using oil..it never gets better or stops without engine work

I like 'em.  I really like the 900 SS sliver/blue with the optional rearsets.  I do not know if any real issues exist with them though.
