    My mate has got one of those. Same year and colour as the one pictured.

    It is a pleasure to ride. More of a cruising bike than a performance bike.
    They do have some grunt behind them but not something that would last if you flogged it every day like you can with an XJ..


    Suggested mods would be new pipes. The standard ones are pretty dismal and quiet but most of the aftermarket ones give it that little bark that makes it more of the seventies sound. Nothing offensive, just a bit sportier.

    Most pipes have recomended jetting for them to take the guesswork out of it.

    Also recomend the block off plugs for the AIS.

    Apart from that I would change nothing on them even though there are a plethora of aftermarket bits for them.

    My mate got a bit worried when I took his for a ride. It was so nace to ride I didn't want to give it back. :lol:

    Here is the actual post:

    http://omaha.craigslist.org/mcy/475706137.html

    I went and looked at it today.

    It's friggin cool. Now I have to convince the wife...

    Here are the aftermarket things he's added so far:

    AI removal kit and D&D slip-ons w/ rejet
    stainless steel braided brake lines
    Datatool System 3 alarm
    Windshield
    Center stand
    Fork Gaitors
    Tank knee guards

    It's only a matter of time now... ( I Hope )

    A friend of mine sold his 900 for the dough to buy one. When I first laid eyes on it I thought he bought an old restored Bonnie. Nope. New bike.

    Looks sweet.
    Sounds powerful.
    He's off riding that thing to far away places right now.

    Already got all the goodies done.

    Personally, I would remove the gators and windshield, but that's just my opinion.

    Price looks good too.
