Hmm I don't think many people will be cross shopping this with a 125.

If only I had money and the State of MI was not allowing me to leave my house...

If I didn’t have one bike in the shop and another in the garage, and we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic I’d be all over that.

I wish it were the more traditional red/white/blue like my VF500 instead of the day-glo eighties colors , but I still like it.

Back when these were new, m y neighbor across the hall in our condo complex went out and bought a 900RR in black/silver just like the one for sale . It was his very first bike, and his father (who was paying for school/apartment/everything) had strictly forbidden him to buy a motorcycle. So for the first few months, I had to tell his Dad it was mine when he came to visit .

One day I knew his father was coming into town for a visit , so I said “ hey give me the keys” and he was like “No way!” and I then I kinda smiled like I was gonna come clean and sure enough I got the keys.

The dad pulled up, I went out and took the cover off and went for a ride. Holy shit, that thing was sick. I wanted no part of all that power. Awesome bike but too much for me.

The kid eventually low-sided it through an intersection into a BMW or something like that. Dad was pissed, and that kids life changed dramatically in addition to the road rash and separated shoulder.

Having said all that, if I saw a red/white/blue one at a reasonable price (yeah right) I’d buy it.

Rebuilt title, lots of stock parts... and the engine is marching. I’m not sure but something tells me this bike has had a rough life. I mean the engine is noping right out.
