i almost got one but the guy lied about it being down so i ended up with the 1000, if your close to me i got a 1000 going up for sale in the spring. and dont rule out the 929 either, i see some good deals on those, and with a PC your up with the 954, not to mention it is a pretty well balanced bike. from what i hear it not quite as twitchy as the 954, yet i didnt really get on it on the 954 so i cant say...
i would wait till spring to sell to get the most cash possible, but im not admitting to agreeing with your wife over your decision haha

When I was putting a turbo on my old Busa I had one of those moments. Got her running and then found when I put the tank down it pinched a fuel line and would have to re-run lines (this was back in the day when there were no kits and you had to have a bit of technical savvy to modify things). I literally came within a trigger pull of shooting the **** outta that bike. So I got an old comforter and covered the bitch and proceeded to get drunk. Came back to it a few days later with a better attitude (and a bit of a headache).

Anyways, sorry dude ... save as many pennies as you can and you'll get there eventually. Until then ... patch up the old beast and carry on.

Bikes are pretty dependable now a days. Usually they become unreliable when guys start hacking them up and modifying them. At that point the parts begin to not fit as a unit any more. The other thing that causes problems is the work being done on them is not done right. I ride mine a lot and never work on it other than oil changes and putting gas in it.

Everything that's been done to my bike has been done right. Its not that it needs the work bought it wrecked fixed it up and keep getting new ideas. If I had a new mint condition bike I would have no reason to do any thing to it.
