These bikes are great, the first of the FUEL INJECTED HONDA's I believe..I dont know of any real failures but have heard that the exhaust valve can be a bit noisy... and be aware of the different widths of each side of the swingarm if you try to put it on a rear stand...get a PITBULL rear stand and the 929 shim and it will sit level for you

If you're experienced and ready (MSF), then try to get the last year out "2001". Oh yeah...hold the hell on!!!

uh yeah, i never touched a motorcycle, know how to ride a motorcycle... until MSF. my first bike is a used 2001 929 RR. VERY fast bike, a little big for me, considering i'm only 5'3! LMAO!! Its a nice bike.... period. ALthough i'll probably go down to a 600 RR, we don't need to much power unless you're all about the speed racing suicidal crazy Sh!t.
