THIS MAY BE A BIT LATE; I HAVE JUST FOUND THIS SITE. I AGREE WITH POSER. I HAVE HAD A 929 ERION, 954 AND 1000. IT TOOK ME QUITE A WHILE TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE 1000. NOT AS COMFORTABLE AND VERY AGGRESSIVE. ACTUALLY IT TURNED QUICKER THAN THE OTHER 2 AND STOPPED BETTER, BUT I ALWAYS FELT I WAS RIGHT ON THE LIMIT AS FAR AS THE FRONT END WAS CONCERNED. ANYWAY I HAVE JUST PUT A DEPOSIT ON ANOTHER 954 AND HOPE TO PICK IT UP MONDAY WEEK. PS A HUGE ADVANTAGE WITH THE 900´s IS THE AMOUNT OF UNDER SEAT STORAGE; I AM A VERY MATURE (AGE NOT ATTITUDE) RIDER. ROTSA RUCK... Burkey
