It was registered on the 1st of april 2004, same sort of time as you could get the 1000RR4 over here

 

Interesting.....
Very nice bike!!!!
I like it.

 

Is the 02 and 03 954RR's here in the state's the same? I'm also trying to figure out the difference between the California 954RR's and the 49-state's?

 

By jet kit, do you mean a power commander (I ask because the 954 is fuel injected and has throttle bodies, not carbs)? I bought mine for 7k with 4800 miles on it, so I think it's a reasonable deal. Just make sure it hasn't been beaten, stunted, etc. and that the head bearings, forks, seals, etc. are in good shape and it would seem like a steal! We're all slightly biased I think... but I love my 954. It's light, agile, powerful, limited edition (02-03), sleek, and has a front that looks like a damn fighter plane! What isn't there to love!?

 

hey assassin, the only diff. with the Cali bike is a catalytic converter that weighs 11 lbs (or was it 9, i forget) but unsure how tough removal is. There's always an easy way on a Honda. My 03 954 is rarely seen from anywhere other than WAY BACK!!! Could really use steering damper though...still can't decide between Arrow, or do I go Ohlins? Any thoughts??

 

Bought my 03 954 new so couldn't tell ya about the price, but I can promise you this even when I move to a complete drag bike I will keep my baby. I love my 954 and to the surprise of a lot of my racing buddies, it not only handles great but it also puts out way more power than most think. Just make sure you check the bike over.

 

If it makes you feel better, I just got an 02 954, 5500 miles, 1 yr.-2 mth ext. warranty, Akrapovic full exhaust, sliders, PCIII, battery tender, SS brake lines, new Mich. Pilots, Toby dampener, including all original parts w/ shop manual for $7500. It was more than I wanted to pay, but is immaculate bike w/ all records, one local owner, and warranty.

 

I think that for the European market they made the 954 till 06.2004, after that only the 1000RR is produced.

 

I have an '03 954 and it is awesome. I got mine 4 months ago with 3200 miles on it for a cheap $2,000. A PCIII was included, as well as a scarred up 2bros exhaust. It had been wrecked, but runs perfect, and I am about to finish all the cosmetic damages. It is in paint and frame is polished...I have about $3,500 in it total...Love the bike and the Deal I Got!

 

I paid $6k last month on 6k miles with a D & D slip on and new tires. I think I got a really good deal though. KBB says around $6.4k for the mileage and year on my baby.
