1993 Honda CBR

If you're reading this you most likely already know what an iconic bike this was and is. The CBR900RR was introduced in 1992 with an 893 cc (54.5 cu in) inline-four engine and set a precedent for light weight in the super bike class. At 453 lb (205 kg) with a full fuel tank, the CBR900RR was just 4 lb (2 kg) heavier than Honda's own CBR600F2, and 76 lb (34 kg) lighter than the next-lightest open-class machine at the time, the Yamaha FZR1000. This is the bike that set the industry down the path of light-weight liter bikes. And it's the bike that we all lusted after when it hit the dealer showrooms. I couldn't afford one then, but jumped at the chance to buy this a few years ago, and have not regretted it for 1 minute. This bike is an amazingly original, un-molested bike that has survived 20+ years without any modifications or 'accidents'. I replaced the front tire with a new Bridgestone less than 200 miles ago. The rear tire had plenty of life in it, so I left it alone. The previous owner swears the bike was never crashed, and by all indications, he was right. I can't find any signs that this bike has had anything less than a pampered life. Most of which has been sitting in a heated garage. It even has the original reflectors still in place! The bike starts up very easily and settles into a nice steady idle just like any good Honda should. It runs like a champ and has that signature grunt that everyone loved about this bike when it came out. It still feels light and nimble, much like a 600, but that grunt reminds you that it's a liter bike under the fairings. It's everything I thought it would be, and more. I would love to keep this bike in my collection as it really is a rare find and an iconic machine. But I've not gotten out to enjoy this bike lately like I should and it's sitting in my barn collecting dust. The 900 belongs in the garage of someone that can truly appreciate a classic machine and can take it out for a spin and ring it's neck every once in a while. But it's not for the novice squid that just wants a cheap liter bike. This bike is a survivor and needs a new owner that can appreciate it's rarity.On Jan-12-14 at 16:42:38 PST, seller added the following information: If you're reading this you most likely already know what an iconic bike this was and is.

The rear tire had plenty of life in it, so I left it alone. The previous owner (I'm the third) swears the bike was never crashed, and by all indications, he was right. There are some very minor scuffs, but I can't find any signs that this bike has been in any accidents. There is a tiny scratch on the left side of the frame, but it's so minor that I'm sure it wasn't slid down the road. There are some tiny scuffs on the right lower fairing, but they are definitely not crash scratches. I can't find any cracks in any of the bodywork.
