WTH!!!!! Where are my Wheels? BigChuckie.....I see a roadtrip for you. Go and get this machine!

 

damn, you're right, it does look good in stock trim

 

That bike is a hell of a deal. If I didn't have mine already, I'd go and buy that one. I love t4rusaf's 954 so much I painted mine just like his(without the oem look graphics). Awesome bike.

 

New member here, but not new to bikes. Looking at an 03 myself with 30,000k on it. Owner says it's well maintained, mature guy, asking 4500$.
My concerns about 954s:
do they overheat in slow traffic,
are they as hard to work on as I've heard (spark plugs, air filter),
gas mileage ok?

My hayabusa was terrible in slow traffic with the stock rad and fan, but nice to work on.
Just hoping to get some feedback before tomorrow night when I go see it. thanks guys.

 

30k and he wants $4500? A little high....unless you have Ohlins front and back! : )
The 954 does not like to sit still for too long. She will get warm.
Mileage isnt the best. 100-120miles on a full Tank is what I get. But mine was not tuned for economy and my Brain seems to think I need to wring it out quite a bit....
Maintenance is not a problem for me. But the 954 is very compact. Body panels can be a pain, but once you have pulled them a couple times. Memory and patience makes it alot easier.

 

My mistake, $4200, and yeah, not crazy about the heat issue. Not something I'm looking for again. Thanks anyway.
I'd have edited the post but this site won't let me.

 

Haha, yea I worked out a deal that I couldn't refuse =) Which was probably the biggest reason I ended up pushing forward with the sale. It'll all be over soon, probably tomorrow morning haha

 

Best of Luck to ya T4. Its a beautiful example of a 954! Got a good look at the new S1000....The red and white version may need to come home with me.......

 

May I ask what kind of wheels are those on that 954??

 

Thanks! I sold her this morning to someone I think will treat her well. I do miss her already, I look at her pics once in a while and it was a stunning setup. But it was a nice run (7 years almost) and I'm ready to simplify my toys so they are all gone (except for one).

THe S1000 is a baaaaad bike man. There is one local here that is right around the price of the SF I'm looking at. I've considered that one a few time as well haha. Just not sure if I want another pure bred sportbike in the stable again. Kinda venturing out.

Those are PVM 10Y-spoke forged aluminum wheels with the outer lips polished.
