Its a 98 cbr900rr and i love it.  I really wanted to hold on to the gs for either the wife to ride or to set up with some bags for longer rides but i just couldnt justifie keep a bike around to be used once or twice a year.  So i sold it and bought this.

Sounds like a good trade off.  Those bikes are pretty reliable and fun as can be to ride.  I had a '03 954 that was the best!!! 

Nice ride. :cheers:

Looks great! I've always had a soft spot for the 900rr. Only rode one once, but I definitely enjoyed the front wheel lifting itself off the ground when I was doing nothing but smoothly accelerating.

Ooooo that almost qualifies as an upgrade ... however I say (with the thick euro/alien machine accent a la aaaaahnold Gubbernator) ... "You'll be back ..."

Yea ... I see in CL audio ads all the time ... "upgraded to bose", and that is a good hint to me that they dont have a clue what they're talking about.
Cool.
