Newbie, come laugh at me!
Yeah yeah yeah, i'm new. It sucks to be the new guy, either way whats up people? I live in phoenix, just got a 1998 CBR 900 RR. This is my first bike over a 600cc motor. I love this bike! I had so much fun the first time i took one out. After the first time i took it out i sigend the check and bought the bike, now here i am.
Needless to say i have had the bike one week, i'm in love with it and can't stop riding it. I think i have only had to clean out my pants 3 maybe 4 times so far. Not bad... (J/K)
Any tips for me, other than hold the Fu** on, would be nice to hear.

RE: Newbie, come laugh at me!
No laughing -- I promise. You've already figured out the biggest difference between a 600 and 900. Just remember, your new engine can write checks that your suspension can't cash. Ending up in a ditch sux -- just trust me on this one.
Anyway, not trying to rain on your parade -- moving up in CC's is what it's all about. I bet you're stoked!!! So congrats man. Enjoy that new ride and try to keep it between the lines.

Hey guys and gals,
Hell yeah i'm stoked! I just got the bike out of the shop today from getting the carbs jetted (stage 2 to match my 2 bro's full exhaust) and wow what a diff it made! It is very 'twitchy' so to speak.
But i am taking my time with it, i am a very safe rider because of all the a$$holes on the road who think i'm don't exist. I am getting ready to sign up for track day at PIR here in town, my roomates dad races his gsxr1000 and has been doing it for years, he is teaching me a lot about my bike. I'm going to clean it all up tomorrow night and i'll post some pics of it.
I have talked to a few people here who have one, the last guy I spoke to had 4 of them so far. Not one complaint about them yet.
As for mods on the bike i have a lot of carbon dress up (and more on the way as well as the full exhaust and stage 2 jet kit. Dunlap 208's, stock everything else.
yeah.
