Honda’s biggest CBR from the late ’80s through the mid-’90s, the CBR1000F rather quickly got a reputation as a solid, if a bit boring, sport touring rig. Where its smaller stable mates made prodigious power in sprightly packages, the 600-pound 1000F was praised mostly for its long-distance ability and comfy riding position. 1990 Honda CBR1000F…
1991 Honda CBR1000F on eBay In the late 1980’s/early 1990’s the major Japanese motorcycle manufactures all seemed to follow the same 3-level market segment philosophy.

The GSX-R 1100 and FZR 1000 were more track focused, edgy machines. However, the CBR brought a lot of things to the table that…
Hurricane Season: Clean 1990 Honda CBR CBR1000F I love it when ordinary bikes survive the years like this one. It makes an otherwise basic bike very appealing. This one reminds a lot of 1994 GSXR750 we had posted on RSBFS recently. They are both in absolutely mint condition. Everyone expects a, insert any Italian bike…
After spotting the Yamaha YZF1000R for sale right here in town, I got curious about how rare this model is today. Turns out, I can’t find many available to evaluate! The few I spotted were actually outdated ads that had sold already. Most were a bit cheaper, but not by a great deal. I guess…
