What to do with my 750 and 900? Updated

[MonsterMadMarty]

Have you done a REVS check yet?

If it's the same bike I looked at a REVS check may answer your question as to want to do with it!

Can you PM me the VIN to compare? I did, thought it came up clean. Repairable write off, but that was known from the get-go...

What did I miss?

Sorry, I think it's a different bike I re-read this thread!  The one I was looking at the guy brought five years ago at auction in NSW as a repairable write-off, then spent too long doing it up, with the change in the law (2011) all repairable write offs became statutory write-offs!

You've been through this before with your 750 mod thread. Stay the course, polish that turd. When that flogged 900 starts giving you problems it will cost you even more. The 750 is already street legal, you already have a brand new FBF top end for it, FCR's, and now you have full Ohlins front to back. Part the rest to partially offset what you have in the 750. I disagree with those who dog on the 750, they are great street motors. I will have another one some day because I miss mine.

Oh the 750 is a great motor. As long as you don't mind the front wheel staying on the ground ALL the time. I love mine, just wish it made more power...and you could do stuff to it.

I know what you're saying, Buck. I did find that 6th gear I've been looking for for a long time though!

Still sitting on the fence for this one.

Yeah I've def been there and it was frustrating at times. Even a 14t sprocket wasn't enough for gas wheelies. It wasn't until after I parted mine out that I really appreciated what it was.

With Nibor's pistons and other mods he should be able to wheelie just fine.

My only thing is: I have no reservations to throw my bike around when I ride it after 12 years, totally comfortable and in control of it. That makes it dangerous because it's completely predictable. It doesn't scare me. I want a bike that scares me from time to time when I whack the gas.
