Pros and cons of a 1999 CBR 900? - 4/2/2007 1:27:58 AM    harlem Posts: 13 Joined: 4/2/2007 Status: offline New to the CBR market looking to get in to one soon. Not really going to race or anything, just to cruise around on and can get one for a pretty good deal(I think). Just looking to see what the good/bad is and if 18000 is alot of miles or not? Thanks in advance for any info. Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Attachment (3) _____________________________ I wish my lawn was emo, then it would cut itself. Post #: 1

Honda builds great products, from cars to power plant and motorcycles.To answer your question on the miles I think that 18,000 miles is low and as for cheap its hard to find a cheap cbr unless you do what I did and that is build one from peices. It is fun and ebay comes in handy but the 900 is a little bit harder to find parts. Johnny (in reply to harlem) Post #: 2

I just bought the front and rear tires for under two hundred. Johnny (in reply to harlem) Post #: 4

Other than the Reg/Rec going bad on the way home and having to research more than usual for a front tire ( I commute 70 miles a day on mine so I needed more of a milage based tire ) the bike has been wonderfull. _____________________________ 1987 Excite Bike Champion (in reply to bosshaus1) Post #: 6

But for the price, the miles are fine. I paid $3300 for mine (96), with 13,XXX on it. Cons ~ Uhmm... chicks always wanna ride; holding onto you with their arms and legs. Then they get all "hot and bothered" from the exhileration of the ride, and then next thing you know, you've got to take them out for breakfast. Damn that sucks. < Message edited by KingMushroom -- 4/2/2007 10:28:04 PM > _____________________________ King 155 http://www.myspace.com/kingmushroom (in reply to dscort) Post #: 11

The only thing I've ever not liked about mine is its not FI. Other than that, the black/eroin look is a great one, stand out in a crowd, not the typical gixxer or R1.  (in reply to harlem) Post #: 13
