    I had a 81 CB900F Super Sport and I loved that bike. Of course that was back in 81. The 900s were the only Japanese bike made in 81 that would pull at red line in 5th gear!

    I bought one new in '81. It was a great bike. Guy at work still has one and went on a 600 mile ride with us this spring. I wouldnt mind having one to ride to work now, as I don't like the geezer glide sitting in the sun all day. That was the last Japanese bike I ever had, and was also the best.

    Good to know...I have to pull the carbs,and clean them out,and get a couple of side covers.Im a stickler for OEM,and mine is pretty much stock,except for the 4in one header,and covers.Think Ill leave the headers alone,but MUST have the side covers!
