I had a 929, and I'm glad I got the 600RR in it's place. The only way I would get a liter bike again would be to get a twin.
FYI: I have been riding sportbikes for 12 years now.

Can you explain why you wouldnt want a liter bike.
If you want an awesome bike for the street, you can't go wrong with the 954/929 (take your pick). Good ergos and power anywhere. If I was seriously into trackdays/racing, I would go with a 600cc bike. The 929/954 ain't too shabby at the track either

Well, as someone with a bike like yours, and having ridden a friend's 929 (when stock and modded), I can tell you that it is a great bike....still (relatively) comfortable ergos (hard seat, though), great handling and power!
Nice bike with typical Honda build quality.

I've had some seat time on a 954 and the power was over-kill for me. I'm use to giving a lot of gas out of turns on my R6 and all the 954 would do is spin the wheel when doing that. Like BladeRunner said, if I would get a liter bike it would be a V-twin fo sho!
929
Have taken it to deal's gap, and although it took me a couple of runs to get use to the difference in handling, I absolutely love it! Have since had a self induced accident (yeah right) and gave me an excuse to dress it up a little more. Have purchased a steering dampner, clip ons, 520 converison kit, 3/4 devil shotgun exhaust, PC3R and it has changed it evermore so for the better.
But, you have to understand, just because I like it, does not mean you will. I have a buddy that has had many different bikes (GSXR 600(2), Honda 929(2), RC51(2), Yamaha R1) and he has yet to find one he wants to "settle" down with.
In the end, I am very happy with the way the bike handles and the power it provides.
Good luck!!
Have had a 929 for about a year now and am very happy. Owned a 600 prior for about a year and half and moved up to the 929.CBR PILOT said:

I've owned an Erion 929, and it was a great bike. I wouldn't bypass a good deal on a 929 in order to buy a 954. Sure, it has more power, but it's not NECESSARY power. Until you can outride than 929, the 954 is overkill...and I don't know ANYONE personally who can outride the 929.
I hate to jump to conclusions, but this statement is kind of a window into your attitude, and I don't like what I see. Liter bikes are fun, but the power isn't necessary. I think you'd find that if you took the bike you own now onto the track, you'd realize how little of its potential you actually use. That being said, a new CBR600RR would blow your bike off the road...and you would use even LESS of its potential. A 929 is overkill, in my opinion. You're an adult (I assume), and you can do what you want. You'll probably survive a 929, but it may not be as fun and fulfilling as going fast on a good 600.CBR PILOT said:

I have to agree with this guy. i got a 1000RR and i will tell you the handling is great. sticks to the road at any speed, smooth thru the corners, riding postion is nice for me. i stepped up from a F3 also. i love the power of the bike but i dont use it no where near its potenial. the six00RR would have enough power but hte riding postion wasnt as comfly to me as teh 1000RR. and i figure i could grow into the power it has. a litre bike isnt for everyone. some ppl just cant control themselves with attemptation of power, some ppl can adapt to the power. whatever you decision is be safe.freeride said:

With my old 929, and me. I came to a point in my riding ability (13 yrs) where I was pushing the bike so hard (mainly on the track) where it started to bite me back. It sucks coming out of a turn and have to watch how much gas you are giving the bike. I got to a point in my ride ability to where I wanted a bike that I could ring it's neck and not worry about it throwing me off (as much).
Anyone can go fast on a 1000, but it takes a really good rider to go fast on a 600.
Take a look around your local twisties/tracks, what are the older, faster riders riding?
