929 owner moving to a 2012/13 cbr1000

Hello all,

new here, and just starting to look for a low mileage 12/13 mint/stock blade to buy. Preferably under 10k miles.

Any advice on things to look for are very welcome. Its breaking my heart to heart to part with my 929, but the pull of 170bhp is too much to resist.

 

Hi, good luck in yoursearch,,you will love them

 

Welcome to the forum, what's you're budget?

 

Hi and welcome !

 

Welcome, mate you won't regret getting a blade.

 

The 929 is a Blade!!! and a very capable bike, I also went from a 929 to the 1k 2005 for me, don't like the look of 08+(that's bulls**t I can't afford newer)

 

I should have said a later blade,well that's my excuse for making a complete twat of myself.

 

You're excused, I was just being pedantic. In all fairness this is the 1000rr forum, not the 900rr,919rr,929rr or 954rr forum.

 

To be even more pedantic @bradt was correct. He put blade with a lower case b, which is correct as newer models are Fireblades, whereas the older models were FireBlades with an uppercase B [emoji6]

 

......I always wondered who wrote all the letter's to Pedantry Corner in Private Eye

 

Hi welcome along....good choice

 

See if you can stretch to a 2014 model year bike which are same as the current 2016 ones and not much more than 2012 / 2013 bikes

The keys are short and stubby (best way to tell them apart!)
