For the last 20 years i've been riding a 1982 Honda CB900 Custom so it will be a big change. I'm going to have a lot of questions once i get it.
Loved my 1982 CB900F2C for 5 years until it snapped a cam chain! :shock:

Lower seat is available, but it has very little padding and feels like a plank after 100 miles.
