Cool Older Rider with 2; new to me, CBR's

I purchased a 1999 CBR 600F4 probably 3 months or so ago. I already have a 2004 BMW R1150 RS Sport Touring bike. I love the ride, speed and looks of this body style. About a month ago I bought a 2001 CBR 929RR Fireblade and am working to get her in shape. The 600 was at %95 and now is %100. The Blade was about %40 and have been buying parts new and used since I picked her up. She will be as awesome as my 600 just more power and the price of parts for the 929 are nuts expensive. I have owned maybe 6 bikes, not counting these 3 since 1985. I look forward to "picking your brains" on this site. I'll post pix soon of at least my 2 CBR's.

Good stuff, I’ve got a 1985 pop up headlight katana, I’ve owned 4 over the years in addition to owning a bunch of other Suzuki’s, my regular ride is a 2015 BMW K1300R, which I’ve had for 3 years, and now the 929 for the track. 30 years of bike development between the 3 - should be fun riding the 929, it’s 50+kgs lighter than my BMW and 130hp (Honda) compared to 165hp (BMW) means the power to weight ratio is in favour of the Honda
