The CBR900RR really needs no great introduction to folks that have followed sportbikes for years. And maybe not even to those new to this world. It is a legendary machine that changed the face of sportbikes when it was released in ’92 as an early ’93. The bike weighed the same as the CBR600 at the time but brought a lot more horsepower. It was the benchmark for weight and power and forced other companies to find a way to respond. It quite simply set a new standard.
Here’s the description from the seller-
You’re bidding on one of the most iconic motorcycles to ever be produced. This 1993 CBR900RR is very rare, especially in this shape. I’m only the second owner of this motorcycle. I purchased it from the original owner just about a year and half ago. With the purchase I received all documented serviced history, along with the original deposit slip from 1992. The bike is completely stock, except for the usual ad ons. Slip on exhaust, smoked windscreen, etc… This bike does show the normal wear for a bike that is almost 20 years old. The only thing I would do with the bike is reclear the gas tank and replace a couple of decals due to son fading. All in all, I can’t recall seeing many 93’s that look like this! Winning bidder is responsible for shipping. I can handle recrating the bike for an additional $100.00. A deposit of $500.00 via pay pal will be required by 48 hours after winning bid. See payment options that I’m accepting for full payment. I hold the right to end the auction at any time due to local listing. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Good luck and happy bidding!
And some more photos-
The seller states that the bike is mostly original with the standard modifications, highlighting the exhaust (looks like a Jardine) and smoked windscreen. You may want to see if there is anything beyond that. While these bikes may not command the prices of the exotics like an RC30 or GSXR750LE, I believe they will increase in value over time as collectors seek them out when the previously mentioned bikes complete their transformation to pure unobtainium. Mileage should’t be too much of a concern if the bike has been well cared for and the seller points out possible need for work on the tank. Not knowing what the reserve is it’s hard to say what kind of deal this could be, but anywhere around $3,000 and you could be getting a lot of bike for your money.
I love these bikes and I will also say I love the looks of this one, 90’s era color scheme and all. If you want to own a bike that simply changed the game in the sportbike universe, then go check this auction out!
