RF900's are incredible

I'd never mess with your baby Dave. Bloody nice bike but.

I got my RF for $4750.

It's had the front rotors replaced and Premier SS discs with Galfers pads.

TBH, I reckon the Tokico six-pots would probably be better than the Nissins.

But they are the same brakes as on the BlackBird so they can't be too bad.

I've always stopped in time.

Mine's in pretty good nick although it's been dropped. The rear subframe under the seat is out of true and inch or so. And the front fairing's been plastic welded. And it has a replacement windscreen. You can take your hands off the bars at 200 so it can't be too out of true.

Anyway I like it. And that's what counts.

I'm surprised the forks aren't bent looking at your sig -poor thing, let it out of the box to play.

Can't think of a more capable reliable bike for the money.

I like my RF, its a bit of a heavyweight after my GSXR's but it gets along alright. Im pretty sure its a US model so I guess its down on the HP which one day I shall redress.
I got mine pretty cheap but have a few little things to do to it. Guy who put it together was even rougher than me. It taking a bit to sort everything out. Still its doing up to 350kms a week and if I could figure out why it feels so unstable cornering in the last couple weeks since I had a puncture fixed I will be happy. (I think it might be alignment or pressure)

Leave out a bowl of milk, this pussy’s gonna kick your minimoto ridin ass.

Any time any place, your pocketbike vs, well say the RF just for revenge. Straight line of course.

Yea, I thought so. . .[swagger]

I have an RF600RP (dead at the moment) and riding two up is so easy to do.

I took my friend's dad to Paeroa a few years ago and he's no lightweight. I hardly felt him on it and I'm a wee fella. It helped that he was an awesome pillion unlike one guy I took who kept leaning the wrong way forcing me to head butt his chest with my hood.

RFs a nice bike. I raced one a while back up to about 240 or so, an RF with a normal sized human on it can keep up with the mighty 9R with a fat bastard (me) on it so they're quick enough in my book.

Not that the 9R is all that fast I spose

Yep - they have few faults except their weight, but then they were never really touted as a race bike anyway. Bloody good value for money - shame they stopped making them
