Here is a photo of a project I started a few years back. I am very close to finishing, but like many projects has a couple things left and have lost the time to finish it. Considering selling to someone who wants to complete it.

1981 CB900F Super Sport. CBR900RR front and rear mono shock suspension. Vortex pegs, repainted body with new decals. Custom front fender to include fin look from original.

Oh godammit!

Why this?! Why now?! Crying or Very sad

I have been thinking about one of these for a bit of a project myself, because I keep looking at and drooling over this:

But, it's not really something I can afford to get involved in alas. Would be interested to know more about it on the strict understanding I'm not in the market for it though Laughing

Fooking love that Sanctuary bike, OP's will be a great project too. I like the Eurosport Honda's more than most Zeds and all GS's which are my least favourite big air cooled fours. I'd quite like an XS1.1S midnight special too, but then I'm a tart and would go with anything. Laughing

Nice job...I was looking for one of these bikes a year or so ago to do something similar. Can you PM me and give me an idea how much you're looking for plz?

This was the one that turned me on:-

And how the original looked:-
"1982 Honda CB750F ridden by Freddie Spencer, Mike Baldwin, and Roberto Pietri to a sweep of the 100-mile Superbike podium at Daytona that year. Powered by a 1023cc DOHC air-cooled, four-valve inline four-cylinder making 138 horsepower @ 10,500 rpm. Maximum speed of 155 mph. "

A thread full of bike porn, lovely! Very Happy

It'd be great to see someone from BCF buy the OP's bike and finish the job, documenting it on here. Go for it Vincent! Thumbs Up

I'm determined to crack on with some bikes this year, I'm fed up with work, family deaths, ilnesses etc getting in the way Rolling Eyes

When the 900's came out in the UK, (I had a K2 at the time), just about every one in the Midlands was stolen within the first couple of weeks. It turned out that a Dutch gang were stealing them to drag race back home. That was the first I'd heard of "profesional bike thieves".

Yes I will be doing a write up with all the specs and the story behind it once I get this back underway. Hopefully very soon.

Thanks
