hello all... new member just checking in. I recently sold an American Iron Horse Tejas, just tired of the high maintenance. I have been riding since the early 80's, but havent owned a "sportbike" since 92'. I borrowed a friends 900rr a couple weeks ago for a little joy ride and havent been able to get that damn bike out of my mind since . Needless to say, Im hunting for "new to me" bike. Looking forward to tearing up some Florida back roads this summer, stay tuned...

 

Welcome aboard sunking!

Nice bike you had there. Bet you spent a fortune on chrome polish! ;-)

Are you looking specifically for a 900RR or open to anything in the CBR line?

 

Thanks all for the welcome...

That bike I had actually was a very smooth ride with that 280 rear tire but yeah, the polishing and the maintenance was a pain in the ***... I'm not necessarily dead set on the 900rr, the 929's, 954's are also on my radar. Let the hunt begin...

 

That's a sweet looking ride Sunking - not a sports bike but then each to his own.....
The 900 series RR's are great bikes and will be a whole new learning experience - especially in throttle control !
Welcome !

 

Thanks for the welcome again... and yes I know I have a major learning curve getting back on a sporty, they have changed considerably since the last one I owned, an fj1200. But I'm excited about it.!! The Tejas was honestly quite a hot rod with 117 inch motor. I never seriously raced it but I left a few behind between lights, and down the highway, on occasion...
