Need some advice= should i get it or not

I am new to riding motorcycles and have only been on a bike like 20 times. I found an awesome deal on a 1994 cbr 900rr with a 2004 gsxr1000 tail on it. Should i get it or not.

i am of the opinion that as long as you respect the bike and arent gonna be stupid on it you can handle what ever size bike youd like. you control the bike it doesnt control you. ride it in your comfort zone and dont be cocky.

Its all in the 'twist of a wrist' literally. As has been said before, if you respect the power of the machine you're on then you'll be fine....be a squid on it, then you'll find out the hard way.
ATGATT (all the gear all the time) rememeber to dress up nice and safe whenever you go out on it, no matter how short the journey. Good luck getting your NEW bike

Re: Need some advice= should i get it or not

As the others have said... Just be careful, don't get cocky and have respect for the road and your bike. Book yourself into some riding courses and even a track day (once you get used to the bike etc) as a rider can learn a lot from them.

Whats the mileage/service history on the bike? Why has the tail been changed?

Re: Need some advice= should i get it or not

The mileage is 38xxx and the guy who owns it is a bike mechanic for like 25 years i have only known him for like 2. The tail was changed because he didnt like the bannana seat. The only problem is i dont have a bitch seat.lol.
I am trying to get the pictures on my computer i have to go buy a cord to upload them i guess. FML but i wont keep you guys waiting to long.

LOL ya wheel comes up pretty damn easy
but have you been on a ninja 250? the new 1 is the worst it looks like a real bike till ya hit the gas
with the 900rr you should have something you can grow with
just avoid lots of gas in 1st n 2nd gear
