A good friend of mine (who runs NESBA Advanced - to give him some qualification - Zippy, you listening) rides a 929 and really enjoys it... and turned 1:24s at Blackhawk on BT-010s...

Anyway, my understanding is that the Honda engineers went a little too far with the chassis geometry to gain response (at the expense of stability), so from that standpoint, perhaps the 929 is a better choice?

Do you track ride?

Another thing to keep in mind is that the 900RR/929RR/954RR are very brittle when crashed - agian, an issue if you track ride, much less so on the street. F3's (with the steel frame) by comparasin - are bloody tanks!
