DISCUSS

thanks 4 every1 who throws input my way ahead of time

 

well i have only had one ride on a 954, and i didnt push it. I would say go for the 1000, for that much you can get your hands on a nice bike. i think the 929 is a little better balanced than the 954.

after my car blew up i wanted another so bad, but im not going to ever get another ha, move on i would say.

 

Get the new one. You'll be shocked at the difference.

 

I say get a 08+ 1kRR. be updated and have 600 size, weight, and handling with the power of a 1k. And if you end up not liking it you should have no problem selling it and having enough to get a nice 954.

 

I would go with the 1000 I have a 2010 and love it never ridden anything like it. And like playful said if for some strange reason you don't like it it should be no problem to get rid of.

 

The 1000rr is a lot of bike in a 600 sized package. Its fuel injected and once you make the switch from carbs its a tough prospect to go back. You have to respect it or it will spit you off.

 

I would never dump "7, 8 or 9k" into a bike that would only be worth 5k....

 

1000 Faster more power lighter once you ride a FI bike you won't go back to a carb. I traded a GSXR for the 1000 when it was new in 08 Hardcore GSXR guys thought I was nuts......I'd do it again every day of the week and twice on Sunday's if I had it to do over

 

The 954 and 929 are FI.

 

+1

also the 954 is as light as a 600

just a little less hp than the new 1000

and I really loved everything about my bike, even down to the trunk space

I miss that bike more than ***** on a dry spell
