After several years of driving and racing a Honda CBR 600F2, I was ready for a larger and faster sport bike. The F2 handled and fit my body stature well so buying another Honda made sense. The 929RR had been a strong contender on the track and I liked the looks. Logically, I chose to purchase the 929RR.
The 2001 Honda 929RR has a fuel injected, inline four, four stroke, 929 cc engine with four valves per cylinder and dual overhead camshafts. The liquid cooled Honda has 120.00 hp @ 11,500 rpm. The bike has a six speed gearbox with a chain final drive and standard wet multi-plate clutch. Braking is good with double discs in front and a single in the rear. With an aluminum frame, the Honda only weighs 379 lbs dry. The fuel tank capacity is 4.20 gallons.

My goal is to make the the Honda fast and nimble. Below is a list of aftermarket upgrades completed on the CBR:
Exhaust: Micron Serpent full exhaust system. The Micron had impressive power curves and a good, throaty sound.
Air Cleaner: K&N air filter with the air box flapper completely removed.
Fuel Controller: I installed the Power Commander to control fuel mapping. This was the main ingredient in smoothing the flat spot at 4,000 rpm.
Velocity Stacks: Factory Pro installed their short version of velocity stacks and tuned the bike perfectly on the Dyno tuner.

Seat: I found a Corbin saddle on craigslist and installed it, which greatly improved comfort on long-distance rides.
Stator: I replaced the stator with one from ElectroSport Industries @ 15,000 miles due to charging problems.
Cosmetics: I installed the color matching Hotbodies Racing undertail kit along with mini turn signals for a cleaner look. I also replaced the windscreen with a Zero Gravity dark tinted model increasing aerodynamics.
Tires: Dunlop D207's, D616's; all installed by a local shop.
The 929RR was a fast bike, perfect for my riding style at the time. Handling and power was excellent after the upgrades. I drove that bike hard and it took the beating wearing through many tire sets. The Honda and I drove all over northern California and the PA/NY/NJ tri-state area before selling the bike.
