1993 Honda Sport Bike reviews

I bought my 93 CBR900RR as my first street bike (been riding dirt bike since I was 8) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Very reliable and light weight for its age. One down fall, I am 19, 5'11" tall and about 160 lbs, that being said the bike is very uncomfortable until you get used to it. Tank could be narrower. Other than that, mine is 100% stock and still has power to keep up with my buddies 02 954RR and smoke my other buddies 06 GSXR600. Are you a wheelie guy? If so, this bike has plenty of wheelie power! Good bike to throw around the corners once you're used to it. Show less

If you plan on cranking the throttle fully open in either 1st or 2nd, be prepared to experience a VERY light front end. This bike has crazy power, not for a novice rider. This is my 3rd Honda. I traded in a beautiful '90 CBR1000f to get this bike. I have to say that this bike was never intended to be putted down the freeway for hours at a time. It's designed as a canyon-carving, race-winning superbike. If you want a ride a comfortable "barcalounger" type bike, look elsewhere. This bike is at its best when you're riding on the edge, sliding back and forth in the seat and doing roll-on 2nd gear wheelies! Show less

After looking at so many bikes this bike kept standing out at me. I did all my home work on the competition, but found that the F2 was the right bike for me. My bike came with a very cool sounding D+D pipe. The pipe has a deep idel, but when you get on the throtle it's loud. This was my fist bike, and I had no problem learning how to ride. The bike was very forgiving, and I picked it up very quick. My girlfriend rides on the back and there is no problems(just under 350lbs). I keep up with the rest of my buddies, and they have no one on the back of their bikes. There was one down fall from the bike, and I am sure you will get this from any bike you ride. My wrist would fall asleep after an hour or so of riding. I didn't like the seat position on the bike either. I always thought I was sliding into the tank. But over all this was a great bike. I just sold it, which was a shame, but I am upgrading to a new f4i. There is just something about the honda bikes that make you want to hop on and ride all day.... Show less

jUST brought about three weeks ago. Pretty good condition. I have never seen a WHITE one before and it look in my opinion the best color. I don't see any on the road so my WHITE one is unique. No one believes it is a 93. Only 8100 miles. I was hooked with the first ride. I love the exhaust note. Nothing like the V-4 sound. This bike handles very well for its weight. I am very surprised by the amount of wind protection. With my other bike (85 SABRE 700), I always wore a jacket. I can cruise all day at 80mph with no problem. No buzz or wind to tire you out. Very powerful also. The only modifacations I will make is a slip on muffler,K&N air filter, jetted carbs. No need to make it any faster than that. She tries to make me do 100mph every time out. I will keep you all posted. ENJOY THE RIDE! Show less

This is a very good bike. I purchased it from a friend for $3200 in 2000 with 13K miles. It runs flawless. Its comfortable, handles my wife and I (total weight 350+) for 2 up riding, keeps up well with my friends R1, 929, and Z9. I have the smallest bike, but that CBR 600 always arrives with them. Its user friendly and allows you room for error. You can learn all your riding skills on this bike before getting a larger one but I'm 31, love the bike and probably won't get another. the F2 will do 145 mph, cause I've done it. So what more do you need for the street. Newer sportbikes are not nearly as comfortable. Its just a great all around bike with vey low maintenance. Show less

Typical Honda reliability and quality (awesome). Crazy powerband from 6000 on up to 11000 redline. Yikes! Next thing you know, you're traveling faster than the space shuttle. D&D carbon/SS pipes, jet kit and K&N's really add to the performance of this already crazy-fast rice rocket. Show less

'99 model-Red,only handful in Singapore. Rode up Thailand couple of times. Wonderful bike,done 270 kph and still wanting for more. But her weight is really ,kinda' heavy. Very stable though. Hard to find spares and accessories here. Occassional diffculties in starting up,solution? Show less

Even though the riding season north of the border is much shorter than most. My 92 RR has over 65,000 km (over 30,000 miles) and still holds up with the best of them. It has been modified slightly with different valving up front and aftermarket shock in the rear and Hindle full exhaust, other than that its stock. It delivers power at a turn and will pull fantastic power wheelies (just don't mention that to the insurance people). Show less

The best thing I can say about my '93 CBR F2 is that it is just as fast as my roommates '99 Gixer 6. I have 11K miles on a stock motor. A K&N Filter, a Two Brothers pipe and header, and a quick accel kit (sprockets) are the only performance mods. My roommate has a D&D slip-on and a Factory jet kit. Acceleration on the two bikes are identical. The only place that he pulls me is after 120 mph or so, thanks to the higher gearing of my bike. Thats not too bad considering that my bike, with me on it, weighs about 50 pounds more than his with him on it. The torque on the CBR is also exceptional. I have held the bike up into a 105 mph, 5 gear wheelie before, but 4 gear wheelies are common. The '99 GSXR won't hold 'em up past 3rd. Show less

When I was younger, I rode them all; gsxr 750's and 1000's, Fizzer 1000's, VMax, and every other fast bike out there. That was in college. Now I'm married, have kids, work 60 hours a week but the craving to ride returns. I question myself " Do you still have the edge?" I may, I may not. How much more do I have to lose now compared to before? Lots! I got the F2 because I rode one of them in college. I never rode a 600 and as stupid as it sounds, I learned on an FZR1000. I thought that first ride was going to be boring because I was only mounting a 600. I remember the first time I sat on it. "It's too comfortable to have the power I'm used to" were my first thoughts as I got used to the controls and weight. It felt really lite is all I kept thinking. I fired it up and started down the road. "hey this things pretty smooth" I thought as I started down the road, but again, it doesn't have the power" is what I thought. All this changed once I got on an open road. I took a few sweepers to the main road I was really going to test it on and just noticed how easily this bike turned and responded to everything I asked it to do. I good sweeper left and I had 6 miles of straight country road and I knew where all 4 farm driveways there were so I knew where to slow down. This bike I shortly realized was a sleeper! ......to make a long story short, I loved the bike because it was so easy to ride around campus and have the ability to open up in the open roads. It was cheap to insure. I just loved the way it handeled and how user friendly it was. When the itch came back, I knew that this was the bike I wanted to get. I found a gem! It was a '93 Red/white/blue bike with only 6k miles and minor scratches on the sides from a standstill dump. From 3 feet away the bike looks brand new. I love it and would recommend it to anyone, regardless of their riding ability. Show less
