Hi all, looks like a wealth of knowledge available here. I'm glad I found this site. I just purchased a 1990 CBR600 for the princely sum of $150. No title, doesn't run, but I hope to both get it titled and running. My feeling is that as a worst case scenario I should be able to use it as a drag bike even if I am unable to get it titled. Thanks for looking at my post, and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

 

Hey welcome to the forum! can't go wrong with $150 though I suppose.

Like you said, tons of know-how on this board so i'm sure you can find the help you need.

 

Welcome to the Forums, hey short money for a good bike and she seems to have
most of the plastic on it. Round here anything over 16 years old can be registered
without a title ! Hope it's the same for you

 

good luck on getting the tital and the bike running do you know any history of the bike or why it dosent run?

welcom to the forum and the best of luck to you my good sir you scored a deal as long as you dont have to dump a ton of money into it

 

thats cheap.

 

Lj 900RReno, I don't know what is wrong with the bike yet. The previous owner said that the bike had run when he bought it, but after sitting for a few months he couldn't get it started. Hopefully it's as simple as a cleanup of the carbs.

Sprock, she does have all plastic--I had the side covers removed when I snapped the pic. Almost all of the plastic is damaged in one way or another, but I think enough is there to make it all work with some repair. In Iowa a vehicle that comes with no title can be titled after a search is made on the VIN to make sure the bike isn't stolen or that it wasn't written off with a junk title. Here's hoping that's not the case...

 

Welcome to the largest group of knowledge you will find. At least you have the winter to tear it apart & get her running. Good luck!

 

Yup I hear ya there Bro' keep us in the loop on it man !

 

when I went to look at my bike it had been sitting for three years and well it took me half an hour to start it but if thats the case i hope you get her running
+1 on keeping us in the loop

 

I'd get the vin checked BEFORE you put too much work into getting her running.
Even if you never get it running, though, $150 is nothing. You could part it for a good bit more.

Welcome to the site, man!
