CB900 Project bike for sale in kent

Just found this while having a nose round Gumtree. I'd have it if I had time to even think about doing something with it. Wouldn't bother me that I wouldn't know where to start, wouldn't be in a rush to sort it out and would have it as a project to learn about bikes.

Thought i'd throw it out there as it's cheap and it might appeal to someone here.

It's a project for a reason (or lots of reasons, considering it's a CB900F).

I have a vague memory of bits of the inside of the engine making a break for freedom by exploding through the outside of the engine.

I actually gave the bloke a bell half hour ago, someone was looking at it at the time. He gave me a call back the guy didn't want it.

I have said if it's still there on Wednesday I'll go have a look.

To be honest, it wont make a difference me looking at it, I can see it's a heap from the photos lol. I'm going to be far too busy for the next 12 months at least to do anything to it but could buy bits here and there and it's not going to do it any harm sitting in the garage for another year.

very tempted, even if it takes 5 years to finish would be something good to do. Can piss 150 quid up the wall drinking in one weekend so there's worse things to buy.

Ooooh, looked at the pictures properly now and that is a bit of a mission.

Still, piece of piss to work on and I doubt there's much you can't buy for it; if you can afford to tuck it away and collect parts for it, then, as you say, there's worse things to spend 150 quid on.

Would be nice to see it standard though, too many of them have been bastardised and generally buggered up.

yeah would be a mission but as i'd be in no rush i wouldn't allow it to stress me out, would be good to learn a bit about bikes at the same time. Might as well learn on something that cheap, if i bodge it to the point of no return it won't be a big deal.

If I get it Wednesday, i'll update here.

Go out this weekend and piss your money up a wall, it will be more fun and better value.

Bit harsh there JJ, there's worse things you could buy as an entree to rebuilding bikes in general and 80s heavyweights in particular, no?

Have to agree with JJ there, waste of money unless you are an absolute masochist.

If you are going to do a project, at least choose a bike that's desired. Those Hondas were pants, really.

Certainly compared with the Kawasakis of the era.

Suzukis, I can't say but Kwaks are the ones to go for (except the Honda 4000/4 supersport)

If you want to play with one, fine but don't expect to make money, thats all

As Shaft said I wouldn't be looking to make money it'd just be to learn a bit about bikes, rather play around with that than mess about with mine and be left with nothing to ride!
