Picked up another bike - alexanderfitu - 07-01-14

Buts It's not another fazer. Even though I was looking at some.

It's a 1990 cbr1000 f. Needs a bloody lot of work, but it was £150!

Means I'll be able to keep up with you lot on the ride outs!

Pictures?  I can imagine it looks a bit rough for £150 but still... Big Grin

Re: Picked up another bike - alexanderfitu - 07-01-14

A bit rough is an understatement, but it wont take much money to get it looking good again, just time Smile

That doesn't look to bad for the money!  What's it like mechanically?

Re: Picked up another bike - alexanderfitu - 07-01-14

Yeah mechanically its ok, did the 100 mile journey back without issues. Just needs service items, tyres, brake seals etc. Then I will get it tested and taxed and work on the cosmetics!

Good bike, Cam tensioners can make em rattle but a guy on cbrforum.com made a manual one for his, Some times adjusting the balance shaft can make them smoother and quieter.

Thats what I read too, mine seems to be ok, its rattly for 30 seconds then quiets down. Must have been done as its done 86,000 miles.

Heh I always do! A whole new set of problems to fix, happy days.

I had one back in 91 excellent bit of kit but typical Honda does everything very well especially long distance, just lacked character.

Hmm I was looking at them as well, but out of my very small price range lol

Re: Picked up another bike - His Dudeness - 08-01-14

Nice project there  Wink and it's cheap enough that you can spend a few quid on it and still get your money back if you want to sell it

Thanks! Thats was the thought about it, I have about 100 pounds worth of fuel in collecting it, just put a a new tyre on it. Going to do the brake seals tomorrow and take it for an MOT friday hopefully.

Possibly, the bodywork is half the charm though
