1990 Honda CBR1000F review from United States of America
"Highly recommended!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The gas tank leaks a bit if you fill it up all the way. The plastics are pretty much completely gone.
Bike is picky about what oil you put in her.
General comments?
This bike is completely fun fast and underestimated. I can more than keep up with guys on more modern machinery. My bike is the classic beat up rat bike which runs 100% and has sticky tires on it. It's fun for people to look at you like why are you riding that? But when it gets twisty, all you see is them in your rear view!
I'm not really sure about the mileage - the cable broke at 65000 miles. The motor has never been opened up - this think is ultra reliable. It's only gone through tires, carb adjustments and oil. The clutch is original as well and I don't ride it gently! I wish it had a 6th gear!
