Anyone know what to look out for for a CBR this age?

He wants 900 pound for it. Good deal? Good 1st big Bike?

Thanks in advance, kev.

 

That seems like a pretty good price. The bike looks clean and you said it has some new parts added on. I say go for her.

 

Well with any old bike, check out the plastics thoroughly, make sure there is no cracks.

Check out the frame, see if there is any cracks, ride the bike and see if it's straight, or if it pulls to the side sharply

and check the sprocket for wear

other then that your just going to have to use your good sence

 

Excellent first big bike!!! You will love it. Great riding position, bullet proof engine, great performance. I assume that you have had other bikes before, maybe know some basic maintenance? That would be $1269 US dollars for that bike, which is reasonable to me, especially after looking at the pic! If it starts and rides/ sounds OK then I would say buy it! Good luck!
