Spank - I think you really need to think hard and RIDE a 900ss before making a purchase. Even though I love my 900 to bits (in a love/hate) sort of way, its so alien to any Jap bike thaI think you need to test ride one first.
I really didnt get on with the engine of mine at first but, loved the handling - so persisted and still like it now.
Having said that - even with reworked forks and a WP rear shock - my 1992 model suspension is primative compared to anything modern.
But I think thats part of the appeal for me - on the roads I'm only 30 secs behind friends whose bikes cost 4/5 times more than mine and I still have a hoot !!!
Good luck - Frank
