Going to look at CB900f in a couple days. advice?

[hmenzies]

Hey guys. My dad and I are going to check out this 81 cb900f in a few days and have heard about their tendency to throw connecting rods. Do you guys think this is a good deal? What could be wrong with it? My dad would rather not get a bike that needs an engine overhaul.

If you can hear it running that would be a great help (make sure the motor is quiet).


Otherwise, caveat emptor
