dude this is something ive been around ALOT bikes and quads and for your first bike i wouldnt go with the 929 id get a 1000 there may be a lil more power, but they are tons more comfortable. 929 are good bikes but they just feel big and bulky when your on them. if it was me id go with a 03 or new cbr or gsxr 1000 and just watch your ass because they have tons and tons of power
