Ferret and cbfan are right on all counts. I also have a couple old Honda CBs, specifically with the DOHC engine type in the CB900 Custom you asked about, so let me add:
I would suggest logging onto the CB900 Custom forum at [url=http://www.cb750c.com/]CB900 Custom and the sister forum for at [url=http://www.cb1100f.net/]CB750F/CB900F/CB1100F (you probably know this but the Custom and the F share a substantial majority of running gear, with the exception of the transmission as Ferret noted).
I don't own a Custom but my understanding from being a longtime member of the CB900 Custom forum is that they make great 2 up touring bikes as compared to other bikes of their vintage. The CB900 Custom is an antique (at least according to the RI DMV) and therefore if you are riding far from home, you might be advised to be prepared if a mechanical failure occurs.
