Hey, anyone know whether or not the 929's that came out of Japan were restricted or not?

Just got one, goes well, great torque, but felt a bit breathless around 240 from a top gear roll-on. Not sure whether going through 5th in to 6th would help it pick up, didn't get another chance to try it, as I didn't have a screwdriver to take the plate off.

I wrote more before but something went bung with the post...

Wether real blokes ride 125cc knock offs of real bikes or just funny fellahs who're "unsure" of themselves...

they are just sacks of shit , i hope you didnt get that 98/99 model their the worst of all . you shoulda bought a gsxr750 96 model onwards , prolly woulda been less and its a far superior bike.

929 was 2000 onwards I think. They dropped 10kgs and gained a few horses after those models that you hate. I was looking for an SRAD actually, I love those bikes, but this CBR came up at a good price, and resale will be better than on an SRAD I believe. After a Welli to Akl ride, I'm quite liking it too. Gotta admit it does look a bit gay though.

Restricted to people with good taste.

I had a 2001 that was a second hand import from USA and a friend had a 2000 929, sold as new in NZ. We had no rev/speed restrictions apart from those recommended speed signs on our roads. As the billboards say they are not a target. It should pull hard into the 260s.
Sound great with a Micron pipe.

it's coz them is sport-tourer bikes. And a bloody great one on it too.

I owned one. Great for Motorways. Not bad for twisties either.

Suck a bit in the track, though.

Update: Just had it dyno'd at Red Baron: bog standard, 127bhp at the rear, so it's not restricted after all, just naturally gutless.

I've since had about 260km/h out of it too.

Puke tomorrow will see if it's got more in it.
