Honda CBR description
|
Beautiful, stock and unmolested 2-owner 1997 Honda CBR900RR in OEM Atomic Red/Pure Red/Gloss Black livery and showing just 8909 miles. I had always been interested in owning one of these bikes and when I found this one last Winter knew it was time to give it a try. After a few months with the bike, my curiosity has been cured and it's time to clear out a spot in the garage for my next bike of interest. The bike is completely stock and original with the exception of the tires, battery and fluids. It shows only mild damage to the painted finish at the very ends of its seat-surround cowlings. These areas feel like they've been polished due to rubbing against a piece of cordura luggage that was strapped to the passenger seat and managed to migrate rearward under acceleration, (which this thing generates lots of!)
The CBR900RR was a game-changer when it was released in 1993. As opposed to the then "Bigger/More is Better" philosophy dominating the industry, Baba and his design team brought out a liter-class motorcycle whose emphasis was on weight loss. The bike was an immediate success and started the trend which continues today. While those first-gen CBR's have become quite collectible, this second-gen bike is a more capable machine by virtue of it's increased displacement and power, (919cc vs. 893cc) 6-pound (3kg) weight-loss (402 vs. 408) and relaxed rider ergonomics. The MC magazines of the day were highly impressed by the overall package improvements to a bike they were already smitten with. The bike features fully adjustable suspension front and rear. This bike is a rare example in this condition and with these miles. Aside from a few cosmetic flaws it has survived nearly 20 years in the care of one, (before me) loving owner and its condition is more in line with the miles travelled than with the years that have passed. The bike starts easily, warms quickly on choke, idles properly and pulls very strong through all 6 gears. Triple digits are achieved quickly and effortlessly by the middle of third gear. Handling can only be described as intuitive as thinking about where you want the bike to go will put it there. 'Though this machine is now three or four generations of development back from current technology it still is an amazing testament to its design and manufacture. All electrical systems function properly. The factory tool kit and Owners Manual are present. The bike has recently received an oil and filter change. Tires will need replacement soon by virtue of their age; there's plenty of tread but they're a little long in the tooth, (2003 manufacture date front and 2010 rear) and they're a mis-matched set to boot, (Pirelli front, Bridgestone rear.) The chain and sprockets appear to be original as well and while neither is showing extensive wear, might be worth considering replacement when the tires are addressed. Brake pads are at about 30% remaining front, 60% rear. Suspension components are are fine showing no leaks or damage. The bike is for sale locally on craiggy's and nationally on cycletrader. If you have any questions please contact me on 206-200-7014. I can also offer the buyer, (or anyone interested) a beautiful, new Nojima Titanium header for this bike, (at additional cost) detailed in the last two pictures. It is feather-light and an absolute work of art! |

Piaggio Slashes Vespa LX125 Prices in India to Bolster Slow Sales
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Piaggio launched its Vespa scooter brand at last January’s Indian Auto Expo to much fanfare but sales have fallen short of expectations. The Vespa LX125 launched in Indian showrooms in April as the first new Vespa scooter offered in the country in 13 years, but Piaggio has only sold about 25,000 units. That might seem like a lot, and would be, for the U.S.
