Hello all,

I am new to the forum and I am just getting back into riding after a three year hiatus, couldn't afford a bike and pay for college too. This is no longer the case, seeing as I graduated and have decent paying job, and now I am in the market for another. My last couple of bikes were a cbr600 and a katana 750, right now though I want to move up to either the 929 or the 954. I have ridden the 929, and loved it, but I am leeing more towards the 954, I like the looks and paint better and have heard it is a better bike. Any opinions as to which is better? Also I am looking at a 2002 954 all stock with less than 2000 miles on it for approx. $6900 that I found on the internet at a place called road track and trail in wisconsin, is this a good price and has anyone had any dealings with these folks? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Derek

Either bike will be a great one, obviously the newer bike will always be worth more than the older one..just get what you like and you will like what you get

Thanks for the reply sirlimpzalot, I will be happy with either one and was just wondering if there were any reasons for someones selected preference. By the way, why do you call yourself sirlimpzalot?

I had a serious motorcycle accident in '97, broke both femurs in 2 places, snapping the "balls" off the top of the femur ( actually broken hips I guess) and am still hobbling around after all these years..so I walk like Yoda!!
"Broken my legs are, but spirit is not"

So I have adapted..I can walk; just have limp..and I just tell the ladies either, " I dont limp because I am injured...!

" or
"Men are like parking spaces...the good ones are all taken, the rest are waaaaay out there...but the BEST ones are Handicapped!!!"
