Any good or not....

Anyone got or owned this model? Thinking about getting one thats going for a good price. Was thinking about getting another 600 but I'm getting pretty cheap insurance quotes for litre bikes just now so....

Get the 929, load it with gas strut suspension bits and hydralic steering damper gear from PDQ and then get it rebored to 1063cc with one of their off-the-shelf kits.

Winner.

They're okay, nothing spectacular. Seem a bit Euro.

The 954's the Blade the 929 should have been. Worth the extra me'thinks.

[Ant]

well, i for one can say that the 954 is a ACE bike and according to the people on fireblades.org the 929's not far behind, infact it seems a lot of them prefur the 929! (but i'd pay the extra for the looks alone for the 954)

Had one, comfy and capable enough but lacked soul. Hated it.
