    Stock gets the money. And to be honest, the black/red 1993 doesn't bring nearly the same money as the red/white/blue one.

    You think anyone in Japan was thinking "that will be a good dragbike" when they were designing it? Might as well complain about the trap speed of the Gold Wing. Makes about as much sense.

    By the way, I have seen one with the McIntyre turbo kit at the strip. What an exercise in futility…

    I don't know if you were responding to my post, but the black/red one is a 96. My point is, the 95 that I found on Cycle Trader is basically the exact same bike as the 93 with only 2700 more miles and cost damn near $50K more. Don't like the chrome swingarm, there are 100 stock swingarms for sale on Ebay. Whatever, the buyer got his dream bike

    Yeppers!
    I had a pretty nice 95, and couldn't do anything with it.
    One weekend at Talladega, and brought it home and back to the old reliable f3.
    Beautiful bike and I loved looking at it, but that's where it ended for me

    No, I was referring to the other 1993 color scheme.

    I always thought the red was a little closer to a pink ish/ red but very cool for it's time e5f533125039c64473aec2fe119971ec.jpg

    My son and I at Putnam. We did a track day there simply because he had never ridden a street bike prior to this, and the next weekend he was to take the WERA school and get his provisional at Nashville SS. We figured it wouldn't hurt to do a little track time the weekend before he was thrown to the wolves.

    This is the other 1993 color I was referring to. They don't seem to bring the same money the red/white/blue '93s do.

    This one fetched almost $13,500

    What years did Labelle run those cbr900rrrrrs with ‘ski? They tried some pretty cool things on those bikes (I think there were a few).
    The dry ice air box/ induction was sano as f@ck.

    the Erion bikes in AMA were tits.

    I had a beautifil 1998 in royal blue with gold lettering. Man I loved that bike. It got stolen in my garage a month and a half after I got it. I got a 2001 929 in red/white/blue in replacement with the insurance money and that was my favorite bike ever.

    I know where a Black/Grey 1993 is that's still in the crate.

    I remember about 6 years back a mint fresh one came into the shop for carbs. 93 red white and blue under 2k miles. I tried everything i could to buy it but they guy wanst having it. You see... he bought it new then went away to "college" for about 20 years. Amd he wanted to make up for lost time.

    I didn't have the money as a kid. Raced an fzr400 but would have loved an rr. Couple yrs ago I drove 14 hrs to look at one. Rode it & drove right back home. Even racing a 600 at the time, the 900RR was really slow, terrible brakes - an old street bike just doesn't compare to a modern race bike. A beautiful, historic bike - just better to look at than ride.
