Okay. I recently came across the chance to buy a 95 cbr 900rr. The frame is cracked, the swing arm is straight but dented, forks are straight, gas tank dented. It ran fine before the wreck, hasn't been sarted in over 2 years. The seller is including a NEW HONDA frame, unstamped, and polished. A new swing arm. The bike does not have any plastic, any of the tail section, no front assembly what so ever, but all the mechanicals are there. He want's 600 for it. I plan on streetfightering it. Is thios bike worth that money?

I would say its a good buy. If you end up screwing the project b/c its too much work or something you can get your money back in parts, esp with a good frame and good motor. Sounds like a lot of time will be needed though. Good Luck!!

 

yes it is deff worth it the frame alone is worth more

 

Finaly got to see the bike today. The frame is completly snapped in 2 places, the swingf arm bolt is bent almost in a 45 degree angle. I think it might need a new left front fork. The outer fork tube is dented right where the seal is housed. I am going to try and straighten it. The forks themselfs are stright. The new frame is sick looking. brakes work front and back, needs both clipons, clutch perch, throtle and clutch cables, the tank has a hole in it, 1 by 5 inches long. The rear sumframe odly enogh is straight, had undertray, and a box thingy that i would say is an ecu. But there are 2 plugs laying in the undertray that dont have anything to clip into? I put a 100 down on it, and am picking it up in a month, where can i find street fighter stuff, i found a gauge setup that is pretty slick, and am planning on using a accrebies cyclos headlight. still looking for a tail setup.

Sounds like a big project man. Good luck dude!

 

Also, i have a friend with an 06 r6 (He wieghs around 175), and a friend with an 07 kawi zx6? (he is around 190). I wiegh about 260. Will i be able to keep up on the striaghts. I already know i will have my azz handed to me by my buddy with a 99 r1, who i have to thank, cause he was the only one who would let me ride his bike, and convinced me i needed one.

I gues it helps being a skinny guy! points for me!!

 

Sorry, both 600's will with zero doubt in my mind.......whip your ***. Their bikes make as much if not slightly MORE power and the bike it self weighs less......and they have you by a LONG way in the weight department. Sorry Charlie.......try again. If you had a GOOD running 98-99 you still (making equal power) will get beat because they have such a weight advantage.

If you were in the 200lbs range, then it would be a different story for a tuned 98-99.

Good luck.
