Hey guys,new to forum and thought this would be the best place to get some answers.
I have owned numerous bikes and usually purchase one every 1 to 2 years and have been doing this for many years.

The 907 has always played on my mind and I still love the look of it even agaist more modern bikes.
I just found one for sale, photos not great, 44000 klm, red, $8000 aus. 1992 model

Can you guys confirm or answer.
(1) Rumour has it 907 better to own than 906
(2) Is the price reasonable
(3) What should I look out for eg timing belts etc
(4) Did the 907 have 17 inch wheels compared to the 906 16 inchers.
(5) what is availability of parts service and reliability of this gorgeous machine
(6) will it be capable of a good thrashing over the mountains
If I buy the 907 it is only going to be a second bike to ride on Sundays over some nice twisties etc and some club rides,then put back to bed to look good.
I am not to fussed on the handling side as eveyone rides different and what one person states is another persons nightmare.
I am well practised on suspension set up, static sag comp and damp and wil trick the 907 to suit me and for my style of riding.
Thanks again for all advise, all info is good info.

907IE vs. 906:

907 have much better brakes
907 injection is "from other planned" compared to 906 Weber with its problems
907 dont have anykind tire problem with 17" wheels

Neither of your 907's are stock as you have stated before they have been dyno tuned and remapped, or do you wish to state something different here and now? You are not really going to tell this future newbie that a nearly 20 year old injection system works just fine on todays fuels are you?And yes even the 907 can use an upgrade in its starter wiring. They may not have the issues to the extent of the other Paso's but improved they can be (and dinero wise they are the same,well actually it is still cheaper to fix the Weber.) The 907ie I have has both injection and starting issues. Brakes? No doubt the 907 has better brakes, But my 906 stops just fine thank you and I guarantee you My 906 runs just fine with the Weber. I'll even go as far to wager it runs better than anything you have( ){ my dicks bigger than your dick nah nah nah }

All that aside I was just attempting to give a fair and unbiased evaluation to a gentleman looking to pay 8Kaud for a 907.
Antti , My fine Finnish friend and brother of a different mother, there ain't a Paso on the planet worth 8K in my NSHO if you don't know what you are getting yourself for the dollars. Just yesterday a close friend of mine offered to relieve me of the 906 when he saw the new ( to me) 907. There ain't any way in hell I will ever sell either one, even my wife,still the love of my life will have to rip it from my cold dead fingers!

But for 8Kaud buy a multi frack the Paso!

P.S.
this is no way to welcome a future newbie,please forgive the rants

I have to agree with Higgy 8k aus $ is top dollar . It would need to be in primo condition, less than 10,000km's one owner , full service history and red . There is a907 on trade me at the mo ( trademe.co.nz ) for $8500nz but there are no takers and I think it will be there for a while at that price , does look like a good in tho. I think , in all honesty that the 907 is a better bike than the 906, but only because it fixed ( sort of ) most of the 906 issues , not because it is significantly different

By the way Antti
The injection system was originally designed for the Ferrari 304GT. It was adapted to fit a motorcycle.

I have to agree with Antti.
The 906 is a nice bike, but the 907 is a great improvement over the 906.
Sometimes the 907 can have some flat spot too (really, my red 907 have had some, but I guess the 2in1 Contis...), but there is no comparison between the smoothness of 907 and the rough behaviour of 906.
And that is not only my opinion.
Just reading the magazines of its age

They all say about the improvements of the 907 over the carbed Pasos.
Ciao

Higgy, does it make any sense? They use already in racing cars injection in very early times before Ducati did it ....

Anyway "first" there was carburators and later injections... Can You find still carburators from MODERN cars, motorbikes? No, but only from some very cheap and crap products... Carburators are from passed times and injection is this time and i think also for future still some times...

Antti
Injection came first in the late 1800's and was developed by Rudolf Diesle. Carbs came after
The system used on the 907ie was developed in the late 1940's by an American at the bonneville salt flats and sold to Bosch in the mid 1950 JFYI. AT the very least you should know what it is you are saying. You can't win here,it has been my life for the last 40 years................. Weber carbs dominated racing for the better part of 50 years by the way

throttle bodies removed for clarity

Yep the ole fuel injection has certainly been around a while Antti , as you can see this a 1930's bosch mechanical injection set up on this pre war racing engine .
