Description:
Nice 2001' Honda 929' RR Sport Bike with only 10,324 Actual mile's! Wow! This Adult owned bike has been well cared for & has some very nice extra's. Almost new front & rear pilot tire's, Dyno Jet power commander, Full Micron pipe/Header Back, Good tabs, Clean title, runs & rides great! This bike sounds mean & has lot's of power & Torque. They call the 929 a Legend, A little info on the bike listed below.The Honda CBR 929RR is already something of a legend in motorcycling terms. First introduced back in February 1992 it set a new benchmark in the sports bike market. It took the evolution of the sports motorcycle, started by Kawasaki on the GPZ900R and continued by Suzuki with the GSX-R series and Yamaha with the FZR1000. But this bike went to a whole new dimension. Both those bikes had to some extent redefined sports motorcycling, with more power and less weight. But the 929 leaped ahead of them, it wasn't just evolution, it was revolution.
I remember riding the first RR, the thing was a little rocket. It was small, light and very fast. It was also very exciting to ride with its slightly unruly manners. It didn't handle badly, and it wasn't an effort to ride in the way that the old style universal Japanese motorcycles (UJM) had been, but it sure took some commitment to handle the fierce power and the rather flappy feel of the front end. To be fair on the original Fireblade, much of its front-end problems stemmed from the fact that the front tire spent so little time in full contact with the pavement that it was just bound to shake its head a bit. And many owners found that a little expert twiddling with suspension setup, or failing that a steering damper, cured the wildness completely. As Honda evolved the model things calmed down significantly, maybe too much for some owners who actually liked the wild 'just-released-from-the-lunatic-ward' manners.
Released for the 2000 season, the latest incarnation of this revered machine, the 929 Fireblade, is supposed to take the old gun on a few more steps. Enough hoped Honda, to regain the ground that they lost to Yamaha and the superb R1. But did the package of suspension tweaks, frame alterations and fuel injection, which essentially made the 929 an all-new version of the CBR, do enough? There's only one way to find out, ride it.
The 929RR taken in isolation would be a very satisfying sport bike. It has loads of power, more than ever before, and top notch handling. I noticed a little tendency to shake its head when exiting fast corners (on the road where the surface tends to be poorer) and at times this got bad enough to force me to back off the throttle just a little to avoid disaster. You wouldn't notice this behavior unless you were demanding the 929's all, but then why buy a sport bike if you don't intend to explore the limits of its performance? I'd have liked to have tried the bike on different tires, as I'm not a huge fan of the stock Bridgstones, they have plenty of grip, as do most tires nowadays, but they're not, in my opinion, as stable at the ragged edge as the Michelins or Dunlops of the same class.
The 929RR taken in isolation would be a very satisfying sports bike. It has loads of power, more than ever before, and top notch handling.The brakes on the 929RR are brilliant, and the front forks cope with them well, never bottoming out even when used really hard. Whatever speed you're braking down from the front end stays planted and continues to soak up road irregularities. This is the reason why bikes don't have 'funny' or alternative front ends nowadays the technicians have made telescopics work so well there's no need to replace them anymore.
Any Question please call 425-214-3732 my name is Don. $2,995 is the cash price. Sale price does not include WA state sales tax & License fee's!
