2006 Honda 919

Clear

Up for sale is my 2006 Honda 919. It is super clean and ready to ride. The bike is currently under-cover in my garage but has been started and ridden semi-regularly during the winter. New brakes all around, good tires, and low miles make this a great bike for the coming nice weather.The 2006 is the 2nd gen, plus, version of the bike with adjustable front suspension and redesigned rear geometry - it is truly a riders bike and is perfect for around town romps. Lots of low end torque and sharp handling. Price is firm and will include motorcycle cover for the successful bidder. Email is best for questions or more info.-----------------------------------------Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CB900F for more info. The second generation Honda CB900F (also called the 919 in North America and Hornet in Europe) is a standard or naked motorcycle based on a sport bike engine but with a more upright seating position and revised engine and gearing, providing performance and comfort between a typical sport bike and a cruiser. In some ways the concept dates to a 1994 design study created by American Honda's R&D chief product evaluator Dirk Vandenberg in cooperation with Cycle World magazine, a streetfighter-like one-off custom based on theHonda CBR900RR, with the fairings removed, high, tubular handlebar, and tuning and gearing modified to boost low-end torque. The CB900F is powered by a retuned Honda CBR900RR engine, developed by Tadao Baba, one of Honda's Large Project Leaders. The motor is a transversely mounted, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 919 cc (56.1 cu in) in-line four-stroke, four-cylinder DOHC engine that produces around 100 hp (75 kW). The engine has cast camshafts and pistons instead of the more expensive forged versions on found on the CBR929 and later. For greater midrange torque, the CB900F's camshaft lift is lower, and compression is slightly lowered. Four 36 mm (1.4 in) fuel-injection throttle bodies take the place of the CBR900RR’s 38 mm (1.5 in) carburetors. Redline is 9500 rpm. The bike has a cable-actuated clutch, a six-speed transmission, and a chain final drive.A steel, square-tube backbone frame supports the engine as a stressed member. In front, a cartridge fork (adjustable beginning in 2004) guides the wheel, while a single Showa shock, adjustable only for preload (and rebound damping beginning in 2004) connects with the aluminum swingarm and carries the weight in back. Its brakes are dual-disc in the front and single-disc in the rear.Instrumentation consists of an analog speedometer and tachometer and basic indicator lamps, incorporated under a tinted window, and a single tripmeter.
