Finally found, and bought the bike that I''ve always wanted.

02 CBR954RR, 6800 miles. Jardine Ultra high mount titanium slip on, Dynojet PCIIIUSB, Scotts steering damper, rear cowl, polished frame/swingarm/wheel lips, gorilla alarm, Pazzo Levers, and brand new pilot powers.

I LOVE THIS BIKE!! Power is unreal and seamless, and the looks are second to none. I''m a happy camper. As soon as I take some I''ll post some pics.

Thanks for a great site.

thanks for the welcome. I''ve always wanted a 954 ever since I first saw it. It''s been a pain in the butt finding one in Hawaii. Most of them have been hacked up and turned into stunt machines. Nothing wrong with that, as my F4i ended up that way, but I wanted a pristine one to be my daily rider. Didn''t want to take a chance and buy a bike sight unseen from the mainland, so had to keep searching and waiting. Even looked at what was supposed to be a 954. Guy had it advertised as a 02 954, but when I went to look at it, the bike had a 929 stator cover on it. Not too sure, but I don''t think that those are interchangeable. Anyway, poor guy in the military had shipped his bike here, but was getting deployed so had to sell his baby. I think I saw a tear in his eye before I rode it away.

Nice! Love the high mount Leo. Thats the pipe I wanted but they stopped making them. I was raised on Kauii. If you take an island hopper. Head over to the Public Golf course and say Hi to Damien for me. He runs the golf cart rentals! Mehalo!

Hopefully, when Kauai stops protesting the SuperFerry I''ll get to take my bike out there and ride. I just went to Maui, and that was a great run, 40.6 miles of s-turns, and hairpins. Went from sealevel to about 11k feet elevation in 2 hours. Thank goodness for fuel injection or I would have been hurting for power halfway up. Even then lost power. Was riding a SV650S, so hoping to take the 954 sometime soon.

Kauai is definitely a nice place. Ever eaten at the Bullshed?

LOVE the bull shed! Steak & Lobster 24/7! WHen I was a kid We used to snorkel in the canal right next to it. Head out past the jetty and there is some good spear fishing to be had! Have you eaten at Hamuras Saimin stand? Its a must next time you are over.

That''s pretty sweet man. I really like the look of the polished, frame/swing/lips.
