For Sale - Origin8or Custom Motorcycles 1981 CB985F

[afish29]

Hi, sorry I don't have a history posting here, but I can verify my identity, and the builder can vouch for it as well. I've put a lot of money into making this a start-on-the-first-try at the start of the riding season kind of custom bike (our bikes hibernate up in Canada). You'll see lots of mods done post build, and it's the best it's ever been both in performance and reliability. Everyone hired to do work on this is the best available within 6+ hours of Toronto. However, I got a cottage and a boat so priorities have shifted elsewhere.

I'm happy to ship across the US and Canada. I have some experience crating a bike through a local shop and doing an LTL shipment.

I can provide more pics and videos on request.

Asking $12,000 USD

This award winning custom CB900F-based cafe racer was built in 2017 by Rob Chappell of Origin8or Customs https://www.origin8or.com/ and bought directly from Rob by me in 2019. In that time I’ve ridden it about 4000km, done all the regular maintenance and made a number of improvements to the bike with the help of reputable local mechanics who know the bike. It’s in a turn-key state.
