1982 Honda CB900F $1500 Colorado

[Griffin]

I wonder if there is a way to see sales numbers for those bikes in Canada vs USA?

I doubt it, things like that corporations tend to keep secret for a while, then (pre computer days) info like that just disappeared after a decade or two.

A silver and blue CB900F has been one of the few bikes left that I would really like to own (along with a silver monoshock GPZ750). The problem is that they are few and far between, and when I find one close by worth buying, it's $3k.

That first one I posted was only $1800 obo. Maybe get it for $1500 and with your exchange rate today that would be $1398.06 not too shaby.

That is EXACTLY what I want - an '82, blue/silver, and stock. That is a $3,000ish bike here in the states.

If it were in southern Ontario (meaning a long one day round trip drive), I'd be really tempted to try and get it. I know a guy who imported a CBR1100XX Super Blackbird from Canada. It was kind of a pain, but not terribly expensive (only cost a couple hundred bucks in fees, if I remember correctly). That would make this still an under $2,000 bike.


Grrrrrrrr.........

You're just a couple of weeks too late to ride it back. Winter has arrived and it's ****ing down rain.

Remember that the Canucks can only ride a third of the year so the bikes don't get a lot of miles.

Yup it's pretty much like this year round........

Lol...the longest I have gone without riding one of my bikes in the last two years is two weeks. And only because I was on my honeymoon. You guys think it is so cold here but Canada has places where you can ride all year. Like bc. I put on over 20000kms (12000miles) a year. I have already done 13000kms on my 1100 since may. We might live in Canada but we ride. We are a hearty bunch!

Looks like the price has even come down.
Wonder if my wife would still be my wife if I bought it?

Hmmm..... Now I'm getting tempted.

Dunno, you going to say you bought it for her?

You can still get a Corbin seat for it as well.....

Knock it off, already..........:hand:

Front me the money, and I'll deliver it to you in the spring, Griffin!

It would be garage stored through what we refer to as "winter" around here.

I appreciate the offer, I really do. In fact, someone else has already made pretty much the same offer. But, with six GSes in the garage right now (GS1100E, GS1000E, GS1000G, GS700ES, GS650E, and GS450E), I need another bike like I need another hole in my head.

That's why I'm begging Trevor to stop. I'm getting more tempted by the minute.

I'd suggest dropping one of the litre bikes out of the stable, but you must have both chain and shaft drive represented

Perhaps a solution would be to trade one of the GSes for the CB?

Yeah, it's important to have a different bike for every occasion.

Funny thing is, other than the 700ES (which I bought new back in the day), and the 1000G (got a two GS1000Gs for one deal with it for $1,700 total), I didn't pay more than $500 for any of the other bikes. Spending $1,600 for only one bike is kind of foreign concept to me, so there is that psychological thing to deal with as well.

That doesn't mean they don't have a lot more than $500 into each one of them, though.

Still, that CB900F looks like there isn't much to do to it other than change the oil and gas it up.


Grrrr.........

I just emailed him to find out the mileage and contact info. Looks good in the photo but I've seen that before.
