Default 929RR, 954RR, or RC51???

Im gonna buy a newer bike when I sell my house. Which would you get and why??

I chose these 3 based on power delivery, feel, and looks. I havent got a chance to test out the 954 yet but I like the 929 and I figured they will be similar. I know some of you will say I dont need a liter-ish bike but the 929 and 954 make around the same power as the 06-07 GSXR750 and looks better IMO.

Thanks for your input
Frankie

check out an 04/05 ZX-10r....cant go wrong! but out of the three
1. looks....RC51 (sounds pretty cool too!)
2. power delivery....954 hands down (these bikes are very very quick and are around 380lbs dry)
3. feel....that all you!

by the way as far as litre bike power...a well cared for 954 with a pipe and PC puts down around 160HP and will walk the fuggin dog on most any 600 or 750 and keep up will the current litre bikes (except the 10, lol)...


good luck with what ever you pick!

I'll check one out, my friend has a 04 that I could probably ride. I have a decent amount of seat time on a RC51 and I like it, but I do wanna try out a few other bikes before I make my final choice.

I tried to make a choice... but none are naked
And they are all... hyundai's LOL (it's a joke in case anyone decides to get offended).

Frank... what about what YOU like? I am pretty sure that if I asked around about the Z I would get as many positive inputs as Kawi sells Z. In case you didn't know... you can buy 03 Z's still in the crate if you look around.

And all I can say is that I am glad I went with the Z... it's an incredible bike. Not as hardcore as those bikes you selected... but I dare say its a better street bike as opposed to your list being better Sport bikes... My Honest Opinion...

I recommend you look at them all... research what "you" want to be able to do to it... and go with that...

Can't wait to ride with ya man... later.

03's in the crate!!! That might be worth looking into.

I would really like to test ride all the bikes I like but not too many people let other people ride their bikes

I cant wait to hit up some twisties!!
