I just recently purchased a 2001 cbr 929rr from a good friend while serving a tour in Iraq. Don't know to many mechanics about bikes. Just that I love to ride them. I've owned a kawasaki and a suzuki prior to the honda, and I must say that neither bike had the perfect balance of power and handling like the honda has. The best bike I have ever riden hands down. It currently has a short list of modifications and I am open to suggestions on how to even better it. If anybody has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Get at me and ride safely.

I bought it in March or April of 2001. Currently has 42k miles on the odo.

Would have more mileage but my 3 year old and 1 year old smurfette's take a lot of my riding time away

Wrong answer. haha.
I can't say much because all Lowell is all I know except for Iraq, upstate NY, and a brief stint in Oklahoma. And I will tell you that the last 3 are all worthless. But thanx for the response and how do I post a different thread??

Not really a hockey fan. More of a baseball and football fan.

I've already got a one piece oval carbon fiber pipe on her. Don't know the brand.(Came with the bike) and mostly just other things to make her look nice. I'm going to look into a steering dampener when I get back, but for now at least she is still perfect. The 929 is a 9
