That's a nice looking bike, keep the shiny side up.

I guess if you managed to get it up onto that trailer you will now understand what the other guys have been warning about with the weight.

Really great looking bike and a great find!

+1 on heavy, not only at slow speeds but at high speeds too, she will take some effort to lay over in a sharp turn that comes up quickly on you. And the back tire will go out from under you if you use to much throttle coming out of a fast turn, massive amounts of torque lurking inside that right hand grip

IMHO not a beginners bike, but as long as you respect it , it will give you big smiles!

Congrats!!! I bought my 91 just a few weeks ago, my first CBR..only been able to put 120 mile son her so far but I love it. 20 years old original with 9K on her and she rides like a brand new bike. I am looking forward to riding with the new risers i added yesterday, someday a Corbin seat. I paid more for mine then you did for yours, a bunch more but mine is so clean that it was worth it. I've been searching the area and you rarely find these for sale with low miles and unmolested

Yeah I put like 50 miles on it yesterday it was cold but well worth it!!! They told me not to buy my 87 kx500 but that was my first real dirtbike lol that thing is crazy fast. Great bike I love it. First street bike but I'm not new to the motorcycle world. Weight isn't a big deal as long as you know how to ride. I'm used to fast stuff And this bike is very clean, and unmolested only aftermarket things are carbon fiber looking mirrors and a tinted windshield other than that bone stock. Runs awesome sounds awesome rides awesome I'm very very very very pleased!!! No wonder you dudes ride these bikes!!!

Yep! And did I mention I am fond of the '94?LOL
Nice looking bike you have there and nice deal as well. When members ask if a bike is good price, it's hard to explain if you have not ridden one. I would pay more knowing what they are about. You now know that it was a great deal. It also make it hard to part with them. Nothing else does what they do.

You can ride with a wide rang group of bikes. Hand with the sport bikes in the twisties or take long rides with the guys on Goldwings.

Very nice mate!! We'll see about that 140 too. "Look at this nice straight road...I wonder what happens if I do THIS" (as the throttle snaps wide).

That's how I'm picking it will go...I know that's what I did anyway.
