I bought one that was custom painted all white. Pretty sure it was a '92. That thing was a tank. The only thing I don't miss is cleaning the carbs.
Hells yeah. I'm in a similar situation, except I still ride albeit a little more carefully than I did in my 20's and 30's. '90s Hondas still do it for me and I'm restoring a VFR400R NC30 at the moment. Should be ready for the summer
That must be an old age thing too, can't hardly open the garage door all the shit dragging on the inside of it from being packed full. Plus that bike looks like it got thrown down the road, poor Honda.
A CBR900 I understand, but a Cutlass? Wow, maybe I should dream about my 2 door 73 Ford LTD Brougham with little Porthole Windows in back and a 400 cubic inch motor that probably made 150HP. Nope, I would dream about the CBR or my old RG500 Gamma, my old Z1, or my old 916.
hmm, so everyone thinks the OP is perfectly sane.................... or could it be that the BB is equally crazy? just thinking out loud here
I think that every time I see a 929. Then I remember my age and how it hurts after 30 mins just riding my sons SV. Getting old sucks.
So I'm reading all these 40 yo guys complaing about being old, while I'm setting up a 16 R6 to go back on the track at 63 yo. You all need to get back in shape and man up. And wish me luck. They'll probably bump me down to Novice! To the OP: You aren't any crazier than the rest of us. If you can pick up the bike you lust for, do it.
If you think about it, we have guys on here spending metric shit tons on TL 1000's, buying barbequed Binellis', and many other examples of two wheeled lunacy, and you think you are crazy?? Naaah, you're one of the sane ones . BTW, other than an RC30, that first year 900rr, in that scheme, is the only other Honder I want!
Do it man. I'm still lusting after another TL1000s, mostly because it was the first bike I bought that cost more than 1000 bucks. Bought a 'new' 2000 in 2001, like an idiot kid. Because I was one. Now I'm just an idjit 42 year old building stupid hardtail Sportsters, big bore Bandits, and XS650's. None of that shit makes sense. I still HAVE to ride, but I get why you've had to hang it up for a while. Get the bike.
