I'm new to the forum and new to the 919. Having sold my 1985 V65 to my son recently I just picked up my new (0 miles) 2003 919. I referred to it as a "nine nineteen" several times but the Honda sales people kept correcting me to "nine one nine". I understand "Hornet" on the other side of the pond. Anyway I'm getting the performance feel for it very quickly and I love it. I will be looking for some aftermarket additions like a passenger backrest and some storage options (both easily removable perferred) and appreciate any recommendations from forum members.

Welcome to the 9'er family.
For storage I normally just throw my tank bag on the bike and go.
You'll probably get tired of the stock seat quick, I highly recomend the Corbin seat and it can be had with a removable passenger back rest.

I recommend you ride it up to the Leelenau penninsula for lunch. Congratulations and welcome..

You're not too far from grattan, think about a track day with us in late June..

Thanks for welcome I'll look for details on track day. Leelenau would be a nice ride along the lake, ran scenic drive between Muskegon state park and Whitehall today for some breakin miles on nice a twisty road.

Awesome bike, I had one, wish I hadn't sold it, I had these saddle bags, in black, they held a good amount of gear and complimented the bike very well. http://www.chaseharper.com/SaddleBags/3100mcmGYBR.jpg

I don't know, the 919 is said nine-nineteen on the Best Coast.

FWIW, the 929: Nine-two-nine, and 954: nine-fifty-four. I don't know who makes these rules, I just go with them.


I envy you 919 riders, I'm still jonesing for a "standard" after I sold mine.

congrats on the 919, lots of fun you and the 919 is coming ahead!

Thanks all for tips and welcomes.

Do what I do, ride with someone who has storage

I've also been eyeing the Chase Harper bags, but haven't pulled the trigger. Still recovering from the purchase of the Corbin.

Does anyone have pics of a Corbin seat on the 919? I too find the stock seat to be quite uncomfortable after a while in the saddle and would love to find a reasonable solution - even if it's just the stock seat base and cover with new foam.

BTW, Welcome, and enjoy the 919, it's a great bike!

Thanks,
