I couldn't have said it better Duke, I mean, we're talking about a bike that's nearly 15 years old!

And we're praising it as if it just came off the showroom floor.

Tadeo Baba we salute you!

 

I somewhat suspect that the 900rrs, especially the 1993 models were built as close to factory spec as possible, with almost zero flaws mechanically.

Back in the early 90's Honda was trying to de-throne the current liter king, the GSXR-1100.

So, Tadeo Baba and his designers and the factory people I'm sure wanted to make darn certain they got the debut 900rr "right."

And "right" means machining every component, every part, tightening every bolt, wiring every light perfectly.

Which is why so many of these 900rrs, even later years, are still on the road and still running strong.

 

[8D]my first bike was a 94 600f-2 and that was the most comfy. bike i have ever rode. i now have a beautiful 93 900rr (mint,mint,mint) and absolutley love this thing i'm 5'11" 225lbs and i am amazed how comfy it realy is. i will be taking this bike on a 4 day trip in early july. i'm just north of boston and will be heading south towards florida not sure how far i will get but i'm looking forward to the long ride.

 

i just got my 94 900rr and after a 2 hour ride i felt wiped.. sore back and neck as well as
numb hands... i'm working on it and deceided to put on some convertibars which will raise and
pull back the bars a bit; making it more like a sport tourer but i can also adjust them and make
them even more aggressive if i wanted to ... i'll let you all know how that goes...

 

Keep us posted about the mods to make your bike more comfy.

Lately it's been raining a lot here. lousy weather!

Ron, I'm glad your 900 is so comfortable for you too

 

[:@]Just finished a 5 hr ride!

And boy is my neck sore.

I have never ridden a bike that long, and it wasn't even non stop.

I rode for the first 1.5 hrs then cleaned the bike at my friend's house for about an hour.

From there is was about 4 hrs of riding with stops at a few Walmarts, I was trying to buy mayonaise for my family. Never found the right brand.

 

hahaha @ mayo for the family.
i am about 6'1 215 pounds. i have a 98 900rr. i like the feel very comfy for me. but i only ride it like 30 mins a day. just cause it's free to park a bike @ school, and mostly on weekends a few hours.
used to have a r6 i like 900rr better not to mention no one believes me when i say its a 98 LOL.[&:]

 

That's impressive! Any pics of your '98?

Yeahas for the mayo,it's a special brand that's pretty hard to find. [:@]
