They probably thought they were doing you a kindness!

This is my oldest bike, a 1981 Honda CB900F.
It has a swingarm from a VF1000R, SV650 wheels, CB600F4i front calipers, WP fully adjustable shocks, Race Tech springs and emulators, an ATK fork brace and lots of homemade bits. The engine is bored to 1000cc with 11:1 compression Arias pistons and 32mm Keihin CR Special racing carbs. It's lightened balanced and blueprinted and makes 105 rwhp and 68 ft/lbs of torque (up from 70 and 47 stock).
It's 80# lighter than stock, the wheelbase is 3" shorter and the rake matches that of the SV650. It handles very much like the SV, except in fast turns (above 90mph) it tends to wallow.
It's an old beast, but still great fun!
