Carbed bike which sucks for the obvious reason. Decent motors, Watch your valve job intervals they tend to tighten up on there own. Overall really under appreciated bikes. Keep the rubber side down!

man good luck,it was damn near impossible to find parts for that damn bike.and upgraded parts are not even made,i think they only made the bike for like three years anyway,but i did love the back light design.good luck but parts and VERY hard to come by on that bike

those bikes are ok the carb will start giving you problems here pretty soon if he didnt rejet it. also there is more of those in missouri than you guys think. i see them all the time on big rides and such. but anyways hope we get to ride together be fun.

i had travis clean my carbs one time at royalty racing and NEVER had a problem with it ever,and mine had 30000 miles on it.and i have been on MANY big rides,average 5 a year and i have never seen one on a big ride,one like two in st louis alone,and one a guy in the club i mess with has one.if you see them everywhere that is prolly the rf900 not the 600,there are alot more of those but not of the 600,at least not around here anywhere
