1981 Honda CB900C review from United States of America
"Nothing else can keep up"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
It is cold-blooded, a hard starter, but if run frequently it starts easily.
General comments?
There is nothing like this bike, nothing. The acceleration is incredible, whether in the lower range or high. I will spend whatever it takes to keep this classic on the road.
