Welcome! There are tons of good things about these bikes...the only bad things I can think of (besides neglect from the previous owner) is the regulator/rectifier and the cam chain tensioner. Those two things are the biggies.

Welcome to the forum Kenny.

900rr is a great bike! Keep the carbs clean, the battery charged, and the shinny side up. enjoy it! Ride safe out there.

Post up some pics of the bike and Scotland riding. I hear you have a beautiful country...

Welcome Kenny, cbr900 are great bikes, lots of power....only downside about these bikes is that they are older models...discontinue therefore takes a person with lots of love for these bikes to maintain them in well conditions...I'm sure yours is in good hands...take care & ride safe out there.

sure, bring it over. j/k

what's wrong with it? if it needs a radiator, a radiator shop can fix it if you take it out and take it to them. otherwise, you gotta find a used one or pony up lots of cash for new.
