I would like to start thie rant by saying........
I WANT A NEW BIKE :mad don't get me wrong I love the kat but I want something with a little more low-end and a little lighterwho am I kidding alot lighter

I would like to at least get an oppertunity to ride something a little lighter to see the diff. not to mention I hate standing still (going down 83 with oddy) I have to anticipate the openings and nail it like two dick hairs before oddy to try to stay in form (not that I am riding above myself) I can do quick on a straight no prob. My bike is just havey and slow on the take off. I am feeling my experience rising and also my wants alogn with it. I am really looking at either the r6 or the f4i but I want it NOW not next year!!!!!! I want to be able to do a wheelie even a short 10 footer from 60 or 70 mph.

whew thanks for enduring me and letting me vent. :mad

I feel better now.:thumbsup :twofinger :twofinger
for all those that understand how I feel :cheers

I know exactly how you feel. My 9R is old and heavy. I jumped on Jeff's and it was like a whole new bike. Lighter and more umph. But for me anything new just not gona happen.

Dude, you suffered long enough. I was barely walking and talking when that thing was built. Ken's 9R is going walk away... briskly.... fro ma modern 600, I can't imagien what it does to a heavy wheezy late 80's model. It's funny how old bikes are like people. They seem to gain weight, get slower, and a bit banged up and work out wiht age.
