Madsod and I were having a conversation, the way you do, and I said maybe one day I'd like to try a 900 and if possible get a newer one than my 6.
Well as luck would have it, Madsod found this one and collected it for me. I had to wait for him to do the usual things like lower it big time and check all the brake lines through.
Went out for about 40 miles and scared the c**p out of myself. Hmm. Quarter of an inch twist on the throttle produces 90mph!! So very different to the 6. So much smoooooover and responsive. Quite a bit heavier and wider too. That took some getting used to and I did find the petrol sloshing around in the tank quite noticable.
I have only taken it steady as I don't think I'm quite ready to unleash the full power of the beast. It's all very well opening it up, stopping it in a controlled manor is something else, ha ha.
I am keeping the 6 as my regular ride and hope to use the 9 on high days and holidays....
