been looking for a while now and came across this deal i couldnt pass up.. its a 90 cbr f1, 18k miles, in decent shape..seat needs to be replaced or re-done. but it runs great, Weisco pistons, yoshi exhaust, f2 rear wheel with wider 180 tire (stock is 130).
i just need to do the brakes, chain & sprockets, gonna gear it alil, 14/46..

 

Congrats. Ride safe.

 

nice, and it gets the same gas mileage as your car

 

same gas mileage but way faster lol. just got 2 new tires..still needs chain and brake work

 

nice dude good luck

 

I like the older gen CBRs. But I never understood why people want wider rear wheel/tire if engine performance were not meant for it.
Wider wheel/tire weight more, rob horsepower, slow handling character and likely effect fuel economy for the worse.

 

subjectively, it's a more aggressive look

 

May look better, but will rob from the handling of the bikes in the twistys. There is enough of a difference between 180 & 190 rears, let alone changing from a 130.

Regardless- enjoy and please task the MSF class!!!!

 

agreed

 

yea the 180 def takes more power and changes handling, but its how the bike came when i got it. i notice the front end needs work, maybe its just the ol skool technology but it doesnt feel very secure on fast turns. so maybe playing with a thicker oil or better springs in the forks may help..

 

Check how old the front tire is, there should be a 4 digit number on the sidewall, 1408 = 14th week of 2008. If more than 3 yr. old, it might be time for new tire.

 

yea theyre both 2 yrs old, the tires were recently just installed a month ago, put michelins on front and back. when i got it, it had worn out shinkos. i just got the seat re-wrapped this morning and monday ill sync the carbs. other than that, i still need a new clutch cable and want to change to black shorty levers.

 

Good stuff, have a blast riding her.

 

thanks. i wanna go for a ride now but its cold out lol

 

OOOOOO! I see a future street fighter in the making! Good luck!

 

hmm, nah i never been too much of a streetfighter fan, ill keep it like it is, just want to add a h.i.d. kit

 

To each their own... For the record though I meant a real streetfighter not something with a cage and 12 bar lol... Have fun and keep us posted with pics!

 

i hope this pic works, this pick doesnt have the seat re-done yet but the seat lookjs new now

 

Congrats!
