Honda CB900fz

[Rozabikes Tim]

Probably if a good one can be found it would be great as a little used classic for us old codgers. Not the spotty yoofs they were originally aimed at!

Got one sat outside awaiting TLC, motad exhaust with some rust and a spare Netto one. Ran nice when parked but not had time to do anything. Fork seals leak but got new (and spare forks/mudguard) owes me about £860 if youre interested

[Rozabikes Tim]

You temptress Bryan. Sure as its your bike that would be a great buy. Garage full of projects and the wife would kill me!

I'm still in touch with the owner. He rides it on nice days when the Monster gets boring.

He is expecting the exhaust to finally rot out this year, with no expectation of ever being able to find a replacement.

So he rides it most days then, nothing as boring as a shitalian bike!

You've been sniffing that tin of Evo Stik in the back of your van again haven't you!

Later CB900 had air forks too.

I think they came with the F2.

Here is mine. F2 without fairing

[SteveD CB500K0]

FZ had standard forks

Yes - mine doesn't have that pipe..just nice clean fork tops.  Here's the not-so-little beauty.

Looking at that Yellow I don't think I'm the only one on Evo-stick

In 1980, a demo CB900FZ from Redhill Motors in Brighton was the first time I saw 120 on a speedo. It was the brand new Lewes bypass (probably now just another suburban dual carriageway car park.

The Lewes bypass / A27 is still a very good road Steve. Goes right over the South Downs, nearly all dual carriage way for miles, lovely on a bike, until you get to Arundel, then it slows down to a stop, even on a bike on a hot sunny day it's slow going.

Haynes manual said they were introduced into the UK in January 1979. Mines from early May, so reasonably early in the production runs. If it was an CB750 SOHC it would be worth a fortune....but it's an old 900, so it isn't!
