There's this RF900 that is parked along 2nd Avenue here in Seattle. I see it all the time on my way to work. Last weekend I was walking in the area and wanted to check it out a bit closer. The bike was in pretty nice shape, or used to be. The frame was polished at one point to a high lustre but with all of the rain we have been getting, it is now starting to rust. Little tiny cancer spots throughout the surface of the frame.

Looked awful.

And the bike is for sale too. I wonder if the owner even realizes this...

This bike is across the street from the Crocodile. It's weird cuz there's usually a bunch of bikes parked in the area. Couple of dual-sports, an older CBR 929RR (I think it was the one that was on eBay awhile ago), and some cruisers.

Just wanted to share. I'm bored and I've got nothing to do at work right now.

Here's a pic of a RF900...

I think it was Suzuki's version of a VFR. The styling of them is actually not too bad but I haven't heard too many good things (mechanically) about them.

Starting to rust? Does it have a steel frame? If so I'm surpised. If it's alum, then it's not rusting
