hi folks,
i am a newbie on this forum and would like some ideas. heres the deal: have been riding since 3rd grade, have owned several bikes & currently ride a vfr 750. but i need a lil more "pop". i have admired the cbr 9 since the 1st gen, but preferred a more comfortable riding posn & really liked the '94 vfr 750 when it first came out. its looks were killer!
anyway, i now prefer the looks of the 954 especailly versus the more conservative looking 1000. i do however like the sweet underseat exhaust on the 1000! but that is about the only look of the 1000 that i like vs the 954. ok maybe it's just the front end styling that i don't like on the 1000 - typical honda, mundane looks comapred to the other literbikes. i am seriously considering getting the yamaha R1, but i have NEVER owned anything but honda. so that would be pretty major for me to jump ship.
i prefer the lightweight of the 9 and have always liked the fact that it was amongst the lightest in its class but now its almost the porker with the added weight & becoming a 1000. (tho the 1000 has more power stock).
so if i can mod (cheaply) the 954 to have as much or nearly as much power as the 1000, then i will def get it.
so that being said any cbr 9 owners or anyone know what mods can be done which are most effective to get more power with out adding too much weight?
thanks,
kahlil

Yeah, 954's are sweet looking. I really like the colors and designs. 3 reasons I went with the 1000RR...
1. Undertail pipe, you know it looks sweet.
2. rear aluminum swing arm looks dope. No other bike compares.
3. I did not like the fat ass on the 954.
