I think it's out of my price range. To be honest, I'm looking to spend what I get out of the 929, or simply swap straight up for something. I've got to many irons in the fire right now to be spending out any on this venture.

Or an SV1000 or similar bike. I don't know what kind of riding you do but if you get too far away from "sport" you may regret it.

Look into the Yamaha FZ1, it's motor is based off the R1 but it has a more upright position for the rider.

Dunno what you're used to, but the 929 has a relaxed riding position compared to today's sportbikes. The pegs are lower and more forward than like a ZX10 or Gixxer. Everything has gotten more aggressive since then.

Yea a triple with a pipe has a sound second to none! ![]() Ok I'm gonna say something kinda mean but it pertained to me a few years ago... Maybe, you should start doing some sit-ups and other exercises to strengthen your abs and back. Truth to be told, if you're having wrist problems it's because you're not using your ab muscles to hold yourself upright like you should. When I went from my V-Max to my FZR1000, my wrists were fucking killing me! Until I learned to use my abs to hold me up, riding my bike was torture. With a little self discipline and control, I no longer have that problem and I am 6'4" AND have my bike lowered 8mm in the front and raised 6mm in the rear. Besides, if you learn to keep a "light touch" on the bars you'll be a better rider anyway! Also, you may want to try Stompgrips. A lot of people don't like them but they allow me to not have to squeeze the tank so hard to keep from sliding forward during braking which lessens the strain on my knees and thighs. I hope that you don't take offense but these are just suggestions. |
