I read on here the other day someone was looking at buying an old CB900. I hope they held off and saved their money for this one.http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Classic-vintage/auction-122066968.htm

All the more reson to treasure it, old Hondas never die, they get recycled as boat anchors

Pretty sweet looking example.:scooter:

Lets spot the non-original bits. As mentioned boomerang comstar rear wheel/ mufflers(look nothing like the originals btw), then there's aftermarket shocks (konis maybe), dual piston brake calipers and larger front disks ala FC/FD models. Any more?

Do old bikes really handle that badly?

Ive seen so many old big cheap (in decent condition) as bikes on TM throughout my time and must say how badly do they truely handle?

Probably as well as, if not better, than the new triumph twins for under a eigth of the cost.

There's plenty of aftermarket bits available for the more common old crappers too.

Without actually seeing it in the flesh hard to say. That bikes reached the reserve already. Could go as high as 2500-3000 grand if it's as good as its made out.

The FZ was the first of the cb900s so may even fetch more.

There is a CBX on at present too. Low mileage and all that but he wants $15k for it: about $3k too much IMO even if it is as nice as it appears.
