954 vs 929

RE: 954 vs 929
ALL things being equal? Well, the 954 probably. But they are sooo close that with a good vs decent rider, the 929 will win. The 954 makes anywhere from 10-4 horses more, depending on the dyno and what time of day it was, etc. I havent seen two go at it anywhere, would be close for sure, but I would guess the 954.

I just lined my 03 954rr, with just an Akrapovic bolt-on for mods, with my bodies 01 929. He is definitely a more experience rider, which is why he wanted to bet dinner on the race, but I live for racing down the straight a way!!...little did he know Anyway, let me just say he ended up buying me dinner that night!! I stalled the very first time, little nerves, but after that it was me 3 times in a row! I think the closest he came to me was the 3rd time and that is cuz I was trying to keep it close, I won by a bike and a half that last time! Hope this gives you some idea and some confidince next time you come accross another 929, good luck!!

RE: 954 vs 929
That kinda depends on where you wanna race. My 900 stock gearing, full V&H exhaust, K&N, Jetted would hold off my friends 02 954 stock, through 4th gear, and then pretty even through 5th, never got into 6th. So, kinda depends. At the track, I can pass 954's 1000RR's etc all day just by getting a better drive out of the corners and braking later. So, on a race track, hard to say, all depends on the rider, in a drag race, again, depends on who can keep the front end down better, go from a roll in 1st with your buddy and eliminate any rider input and go at it. Curious how close that would be.
