I have had my 900rr for a few months now and when i first got it(its a 94), i moded it heavily, but only spent under 1000 for everything which was a steal considering i got the bike itself for 2500 and it has 18k miles on it. I stuck Keihin 39 mm's on it, full D&D exhaust with CF pipe, 1 down in the front 2 up in the rear to make it 15/45, K&N air filter, new chain, new tires. I polished the frame and swingarm which look nice. little stuff etc.
It still however looks like a street fighter considering ive had the entire front plastics off for 4 months cuzz the dood who is painted them is in new orleans. now and the only thing in the front is a crash cage, I sold all my 94 plastics and upgraded to 98 plastics for only around $50 so atleast i have the 98 rear end and tank on it. im serious 50$, it cost so low because by the time i sold all my plastics for my 94 on ebay, i turned around and bought the plastics for the 98 and after the exchange i ended up only $50 over.
anyways, in performance the only word i can use to describe it is beutiful. my brother owns a 00 929, and i can keep up with him. considering his bike is 6 years newer than mine and is worth alot more dough, im more than happy with the fact that i bought this bike as a 'first ride', and didnt break the bank.
oh ya one more thing that made me really happy was, i did all the work myself from top to bottom. So i had the ability to learn off this experience and become educated enough to teach others.
Stay safe, have fun

i have a quick question. i have a 1995 900RR with a micron full exhaust, one down in fron and two teeth up in the rear sprocket, and i want to ask you i topped it out the other night and it showed 175 and it would not do more. Now the thing that worries me is - is it normal for me to get killed after 150 by a 2001 GSX-R750 ? before that i pull on him but after 150 he passes me. i know that the 2001 gsx-r750 can get 128rwhp and its lighter. i guess the sprockets have their affect on top speed. And one more thing, doest the K&N Air Filter really help?? i mean is it noticable?
p.s. i know that i probably was not going faster than 160mph actual speed...

Yes it is absolutely normal for you to get raped by a FI gixxer 750 after 150. You altered your sprockets thur further exasperating the outcome.
You have to remember the 00-01 750s BEAT the 929, R1 and ZX-9R on TOP END!
So of COURSE it would walk away from a 900rr, no offense.
I used to have a GSX-R 750 89 with an 1100 motor 5 speed (actually an 87 motor so it was 1052 cc). 4 K&N pods, jetted, Yosh pipe, -1 front and I think +2 or +3 in the rear.
I used to run EVERYONE ALL THE DAMN TIME just to see where the 1100 stood.
60 mph to 160 mph run against a 9R 2000 model I would sloooooooooooooowly walk away.
Running against a 1st gen R1...he would slooooooooooowly walk away the way I would on the 9R. He would consistently run 10.9 @ the strip to my 11.0! I couldn't keep the front wheel down on tha thing!
I ran an 00-02 750, not sure of the mods on the hwy and we were LOCKED DEAD EVEN for a while.....had it gone into psycho mode over 160 I'm SURE he would have walked away from me.
Once I geared -1 +3, even my buddy on a telefonica would be able to stick w/me drafting when we were topped out all the way. I would pull him HARD on the hwy but wouldn't get too far as I topped out...
I rode a 929 once back to back from my 1100....instantly felt like a weaker bike given the lower displacement....but I'm sure it could hold its own w/the 1100 on a long straight if modded similarly.
I should mention I weigh about 130 lbs ;-)
