Well, that nail in the back tire :mad: finally caught up with me this morning so I rode the 929 to work...

I can say that I have absolutely no regrets after buying the new Repsol (except not doing so sooner!).

That little guy on my left shoulder has been whispering in my ear that there's nothing wrong with the 929, keep riding it 'til the wheels fall off. The little guy on the right very quickly won the battle when he whispered the word "REPSOL" in my ear... :D

I got on the 929 expecting it to feel like an old friend. It felt like a turd! :eek:
Crappy clutch feel, squishy brakes, under-powered, unrefined engine sound, crappy exhaust sound (stock), did I mention under-powered?

Anyhow, it comfirmed that the Repsol was a brilliant purchase and now I'm gonna enjoy it that much more, knowing where I came from.

BTW - anyone want to buy a 2001 CBR 929RR??

I know what you mean my 05 zzr600 feels like a turd mobile also. The most impressive item of my 07 repsol is the gear shifting compared to my kawasaki. Like night and day. While I am still pissed with Honda and the lack of exclusivity of my repsol, I would not sell it for anything. I may get another bike in the future, but I shall keep the repsol in the stable. Damn-it the bike is just awesome just to look at.

Well, I sold the 929 this weekend... I expected to feel a tinge of sadness to see it go, but I'm just glad to have the space back in the garage and one less insurance payment (which, of course, means more money for REPSOL mods!!).
