Folks I bought a damaged cb900 hornet recently its travelled 12000km
The damage is
Bent fork tubes
busted radiator
bent bars--Ive got a new set for it
busted tacho.
Small dings in tank
Broken front brake lever.
It has LIVE registration .
Its pretty clear to me I don't have the time to fix it.
It owes me $4000
Anybody interested come have a looksee
I would concider a swap for a bike of the same value or a trade in if you have a cheaper bike

The stains on the concrete underneath are not from the bike

What's needed (minimum) to put it back on the road?

Forks (fixable or are they knackered?)
Radiator
Brake lever

Everything else seems cosmetic, yes??

I'll give him $20 - and even let him store it in his garage until I get the money to get it fixed. And I might even let him give me direction on how to fix it; maybe even going so far as to let him help me.

I live 2 kms from Frosty, if you buy it. I'll go and trash it, just to spoil your day.

id swap my spada if i could find all the parts for the cb900 and fix it myself.

are the forks repairable?

Yes and no--the chromes are getting straightened but ONLY to push the bike around as they are both creased at bottom of steering head so NOT for riding on. The lowers are untouched and Im not sure about the innards

I'm fairly tempted by this - I'm reasonably sure my 250 would be a suitable swap.

But then i'd be riding a honda.

Racetechs will make all the difference to this bike. Trust me on this.

If RF900 forks fit the thing I have a pair hanging in my shed someone can grab. I'll measure them tonight... if I remember.

One is chewing out seals, but nothing sandpaper and a bit of epoxy won't fix.
