Figured I would log in to say hi and to say how much I love my 9, I have only been riding for two years but I went from a Katana to a cbr600rr to the 9 and it rides great. Its got a full exhaust a filter and a jet kit. so far I cant see any reason for me to ever get rid of it. bought the bike for comfort and power and so far that is what I think I have. a buddy of mine says its more comfortable than his zx12 but either way I love it.
