    My new CB900

    Picked up a second hand CB900 a few of weeks ago and here are my impressions so far.

    Impression 1
    Love it

    Impression 2
    Wife loves it, she has been riding it a little as well, may need to get another one so we can ride at the same time
    (If anyone knows how to lower this bike a little please let me know as she can only just get her toes on the ground when stopping with both feet down)

    This is a great bike. Smooth effortless power from 2,000rpm up, tips into corners really well and feels solid in them, nice comfortable riding position.
    An all round joy to ride that reminds me why I ride and has me looking forward to the next ride when I get home.

    I was not a big fan of the red wheels at first, but they are slowly growing on me.

    Damn, nice looking machine! How many kms has it done? And.. how much did it set you back (if you don't mind my asking)?

    Good work mate.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
