900 SL

Hi Stu,

Saw your 600 on post about white frame. I had a 600 ss for 3 years with no problems at all. I decided I would also like to fit a single seat, twin exhausts, carbon bits etc. But when I toted up the costs it seemed more viable to buy the 900 Superlight. So think about how much you are willing to spend on it and save those pennies towards a bike that has the bits fitted by someone else!!

The difference between a 900 SS and 900 SL is that the superlight has the extra's fitted as standard.
Brembo floating disc's
Single race seat, so no pilions on an SL
Carbon Clutch cover
Carbon front fender
Carbon rear Hugger.
Carbon twin exhausts usually Termis'
The engine mods may include higher compression etc but I'm not technically minded enough to confirm this although others might be able to shed more info.
All in a package which you can now pick up for between £2000 - £3000 depending on the condition.
Not the fastest bike in the world but a head turner and very pleasurable ride all the same.
I only use this in dry weather, so as we live in this country of mixed and varied weather I only do about 1000 to 1500 miles ayear.
So it deppends what you want out of your motorcycling and if you can afford to keep a bike in the garage or lounge? for most of the year.

Welcome on board Stu, hope you enjoy the bike I certainly did, so much I bought the Superlight!!
