Miles are a bit high, but that really depends on riding location. But for the price, the miles are fine.
I paid $3300 for mine (96), with 13,XXX on it.

Cons ~ Uhmm... chicks always wanna ride; holding onto you with their arms and legs. Then they get all "hot and bothered" from the exhileration of the ride, and then next thing you know, you've got to take them out for breakfast. Damn that sucks.

great bikes, pretty easy to deal with, no major issues. The only thing I've ever not liked about mine is its not FI. Other than that, the black/eroin look is a great one, stand out in a crowd, not the typicalgixxer or R1.

I've got a ninja , a katana, and my cbr 900. I have enjoyed my 900 more then any of the others, and I like the look of the fat tail on the cbr 900. I've heard alot of people changing the tail because of the fat look, but I think the tail stands out. Enjoy the ride.Johnny

I love my 99 900RR, I bought it new leftover. It's never really given me any trouble, and has enduredlots of high RPM abuse. I take good care of it too though. At 18000 you should make sure the valves have been adjusted, and cleaning and synchronizing the carbs and changing the oil wouldn't be a bad idea either. Otherwise, about as bulleproof as spotbikes get!

Solid bikes, very torquey compared to new bikes, get a 17" front rim and you can mount even the newest tires...

Thanks guys, I heard that front 17 also helped with cornering. What oils do you prefer to run in these? I had my shop run it and they said It sounded very tight so they didnt tear into the valves ,but I dont know if I should still have'em do it anyway. What do you guys think of that dual foam filter kit that replaces the stock drop it that come with all the jets and stuff?
