Default She's Back!!

Time for some shameless self promotion haha. Well after 2 years in storage I finally got my 900 back on the road today! Had to share some pictures of her with some peeps that will truly appreciate it.
so here she is, built 1/92 397 build order.

Thanks Conrice, nice to be recognized lol.

Appreciate it scut, she's running better than ever. Totally rebuild the carbs and took out the fuel pump. Read up that gravity feed will work and so far so good. How's yours holding up? Someone came up to me today and asked "is that a new Honda? I love that style! " haha I just laughed and said yea its new! In 1993! He was blown away.

Well done Jon,

That is a truly lovely bike.

I still remember the rave reviews when they came out and lusted after one for years. By the time the money came my way to buy one (1997), the Suzuki TL1000s was released and I slapped the money down on the counter for one of those!

Had a few rides on them back in the day though and they still gave me a thrill!

Cheers, SB

Joe,


you suck....LOL just kidding. I envy you... I want a 93 R/W/B soooo bad I can taste it....First bike I fell in love with...Took me 19 yrs to buy one.
I looked for 6 months and had to settle with a mint 95 900RR G/W/P.
I have found a 94 R/W/B that's mint but as soon as I get it a 93 will pop up (just my luck).
It looks great...
Vinman
