Honda 919 - new (to me) bike in the family

Just got this one at a good price (for a clean bike with good maintenance history, etc.)

2006 Honda 919

Artsy shot just for fun:

Nice.

Sweet. These are excellent bikes. I know a guy with ~40k miles on one with no issues.

Enjoy it!

Excellent UJM. I wanted one of these pretty bad about 6 years ago.

Rode the 919 in to work today. 28 degrees out when I left home, with fog and snow flurries. On the way home, a 30 mph headwind and 25 degrees out. COLD but I still had a damned good time. This bike is SO easy to ride, and so comfortable! There's nothing special about it, but somehow the sum is far, far greater than the parts.

cool bike. Was top 10 for bikes to buy when i was looking to buy. Ended up with a FZ1

Awesome bike! I wants one

FZ1 was on the list, but this bike was too good to pass up.

She's a beaut.

I love it; a definite wolf in sheep's clothing. There's one around here in Invisible Gray.

What other bikes do you have? Or did your bike come with a swingarm stand?

I "have" a Triumph Street Triple that actually belongs to my employer. Great bike (MAN what an engine, even if the water pump is IN the crankcase!), but it's not mine to do with as I wish. With the Honda, it's mine, all mine.

Truth be told, I was in the market for a Speed Triple, but the Honda was more bike per dollar.

Helluva bike!

I love mine!

^ I would trade my old Nighthawk for one of these in an instant.

The red rim stripes look good!

What flyscreen is that?

Screw you man! I've wanted one of these since launch. Just had too many wrecks and broken bones to justify it to my family. Asphalt black... MMM!!!

Anyway, check out wristtwisters forum. Caters to 919s. At least it did, last time I checked.

There is a buell flyscreen that looks great on that bike and should be available for cheap on eBay. Can't remember the model they came off of. It will make more of a difference to the comfort then you would think.

Great looking bike by the way.

Is it the S1 flyscreen? I have a nice one in carbon fiber

A neighbor around the corner has a kind of lime green one. I always gawk. Good looking bike. Very good looking.

Do/did they make something similar in more like a 600 size? Because that would be more my size/style/speed

I remember seeing s asymmetrical one that looked real nice with the single large headlight.

Is that a FZR600 street fighter?

FZR400. all sorts of sketchy

They made a 599. Unfortunately, it was in the same class as the SV650.
