RE: 99 900 rr
dude...if this is your first street bike you shouldn't even be worrying about how it stacks up...worry first about learning your bike and what your bike is capable of...it is a 99...I have one also...and ill tell you this much...its bad *** in its own ways but don't expect to spank every bike you see with it...

A 900rr for a first street bike carries a steep learning curve.

Alright calm down. I wasn't planning on racing every bike I see, just WONDERING. I've ridden a cruiser for 4 years and just got bored with it. I know a cruiser doesn't compare to a street bike, but it counts for a little something.I have full intentions of learning the bike well before trying to pushmylimits.

Learn to ride the twisties n then you'll find real fun! But the 900RRs are very capable bikes. They will hold their own. I think a R1 with a skilled rider will spank a 900. But what do I know, I rarely see 100mph [:-]

I drag and I am most definately no *****...i rip turns and drag knee with an 8 in stretch on my 900...i did the twisties and granted, yes, they are good fun, i just spilled to many times and ended up having kids...so I needed to find a safer, cheaper way to get me kicks out of riding...whats safer than a closed track, straight line, and paramedics parked right there
