wanna read my two cents? her they are: 929 its a great bike if you treat her well she will return the favor with lots and lots of miles of fun without even check for oil level. one thing (at least on mine) the 929 has is that they suffer from alternator issues, but she's a really great honey (bike) and i will love her for the rest of my life. attention, there is a mod that you really must do as soon as you get her even if she's stock or not: get a pc III, do the flapper mod and remove the mid pipe valve thing (dont remember the name something like htv something) do this mods as soon as you get her and you will have one hell of a bike for sure, really, awesome bike.

 

i think the 929 is one of the smoothest bikes ive riden, handles great in the turns but that also depends on your rubber. i would never ride a bike again with out a damper. only thing i feel is it could have more grunt down low. but i went +4 to help for that...if you like powerwheelies its a good bike for that

 

As I can see, Most responces are wery good about this bike. I think i made a good choise to by this one. Now i just have to find such bike witch would be in good condicion.. I am waiting for this moment when i will be able to ride my honda 929.

But how ever, will some one tell some disadvanteges?? Has'nt 929 got them?

 

The pre-load on the suspension front and rear is a bit soft for bigger guys. (220lbs here) Tough to get it set up nice and firm. Like everyone else said, a damper is a good help. The stators seem to go out on these. Replaced mine twice... Let's see... Normal electrical gremlins. Blinkers will go out randomly, headlights. But they seem pretty easy to fix. Oil issues have never really been a problem with my bike. Ooh, and you will go through tires pretty quickly lol. At least I do. Must be something with that engine...

For the price you can pick one up at, I couldn't imagine a different bike. Unless you save up a bit more and get a 954.

If somebody offered to trade their cherry R1 for my clapped out 929... I'd pass. =)

hey Pixel, when your stator went out did it ever blow steam deposits out of the valve cover gasket. and did it ever just start dying when you were riding? thanks

Just started dying on me. Low battery all the time and what not.

I found honda 929, but it has ridden for about 40000 km (i dont know how to say it corectly, sorry) . What do you think that. Is this to much for bike who is 2000 m

 

Mines got 60,000 km and runnin like knew, but its been properly maintained<<<<<this is the key its a honda

 

I want to ask a question about honda's 929 speedometer. I found bike who is from USA i think i'l by it, but I had an argue with it's owner. So can someone help me with your knowledge? If bike is from USA it's speedometer shows speed in miles/h ant run in miles. Is this an aportunity to change speedometer to show speed in km/h and run in km? As i know, there is aportunity to change only the speed shows..but not the run, it anyway wil be showing in miles?
