  • Manson's new ride - Honda CBR 954rr

    An evening hanging out with the regulars, and in a few weeks I have a new ride. This was sweet, and happened much faster than the Thunderace. But even the three odd weeks without a bike always made me rethink the Thunderace sale.
    The Thunderace is gone now, to a home it is going to be taken good care of and the owner loves it. The 954 in the last five days is making it seem like a good step forward. It was not my initial intent to buy a 954, but one good test ride, known past history, clean paperwork and a reasonable price had me sticking my tongue out.

    A big, really big token of thanks to Anku & Straight6 for helping out, and reaching out to every contact they had to find me a bike. They rode with me through my changing moods and prefrences all those weeks, thanks guys.

    I will miss the riding impressions for now, it is going to take a few more days to figure this one out, but I will leave you guys with a few pictures from last night at reclamation.

    Topic Approved.

    A big, hearty congratulations Manson for getting the CBR! Wonderful. I would love to know how does it compare to your earlier ride, the Thunderace.

    P.S:
    Perhaps, it's time you changed your avtaar?

      The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                      Hahaha, how I wish! But ideally I wouldn't have, it would be wasting some nice machinery when I'd be riding either

                      That was one of the early thoughts to my mind as well, an added bonus!
                      Couple of more days, and there will be one more addition to the gear

                      That was a few days before I brought the blade home. Back then I had put down a token and was hoping everything would work out well. Thanks x 2 for the wishes man!

                          954 is one of the best looking CBRs every launched. Too bad they are not produced anymore.
