1996 marked the debuted of the third generation of Honda’s legendary CBR900RR – Honda tweaked the suspension and chassis for more torsional rigidity, changed the position of the clipons and the size of the shape for a more comfortable riding position, and bored out the motor an additional 1mm, increasing displacement to 918cc. Power went up by 8 horsepower and 3 lb-ft of torque at the crank (130 hp, 68 lb-ft), and the dry weight dropped by over 6 pounds to 401.
Adorned in the rare purple/yellow/white factory livery, this 1996 Honda CBR900RR (VIN: JH2SC3305TM002747) has had just one official owner. The owner passed away and the bike was inherited by his daughter, who is now letting it go.
As such, there are no service records, but the seller believes that this bike was always maintained and garage-kept. The owner was mechanically inclined and it is believed that he performed most of the maintenance work. The odometer shows 12,976 miles. This CBR was just serviced with a carb cleaning, new diaphragms, carb sync, oil change, and new spark plugs.
It is all original, with the exception of a D&D slip-on exhaust.
Cosmetic issues are limited to a front fender scratch, a small chip on the upper left fairing, and a small chip in the tank.
The sale includes the owner’s manual and two keys.
This is a beautiful example of a defining motorcycle of the 90s. It’s cosmetically nice enough to show with sufficient miles on the odometer that you won’t be worried to enjoy it on the road.
