I have a 90 and it's plenty fast. And a zillion times more comfortable than the 600 and 900 CBR's.

You might be too young to remember the 1980's when each Japanese manufacturer had a bike with a turbo. Honda's CX650 Turbo, Kawasaki's GPZ750 Turbo, Suzuki's XN85 Turbo, and Yamaha's Seca 650 Turbo. The reason they don't make them now? Picture going around a fast corner and the turbo kicks in. Bam! you're in the guard rail or worse.

You want to go faster than guys or gals on faster bikes? Take riding lessons and read some of the books. In the last five years, I've read two books, had one track lesson and two classroom lessons. And I still have a ton to learn.

Ok thanks guys! Litterally the only thing wrong with this bike is the fact that it's been sitting in a garage and needs the carbs rebuilt. As far as I know there are no scratches, chips, cracks, or dings. I'm going to be the youngest rider on it and I'm almost 30.

I'm with you. She doesn't ride, it's not her bike. She has NO use for it. It was her ex husbands. She took the bike in the divorce. Oh crap, I wonder if he's on here. I hope not. Crap. Anyways, I'm thinking she may dang near give it to me since she has no use for it other than to **** off her ex husband. I do feel bad for the guy but I'm selfish and miss riding more than I feel bad for him.
