The difference in seat hight of the 500 and the 1100 is a massive 1.3" i beleive, so I am imagining that the 900 is not too far from these. I am sure you will check this out as you hate to be proved wrong

Cant be arsed. Still looks like the 750 to me :P

Oh and when youre short, that 1.3" can make a big difference :P

Luckily I didn't see any - except on radar

my harmless sig caused this thread to turn to top gun, excellent

I've been surfing around and there is the [possibility that the bike in top gun was a 750, but stickered up to look like a 900. The silver part of the front fairing gave it away as a 750 tho.

It's an old idea, seen in crappy bike pic Biker Boyz. One of the lead characters had a yello GSXR750, stickered up and refered to as a thousand

Oddly, I watched this about 2 days ago and then subjected the entire floor at work to some Kenny Loggins and Harold Faltermeyer. Timeless classics!

Somehow though I dont suspect youre old enough like me to have the soundtrack on vinyl as well as CD :P [was a year younger than BigApe ]

So many old folks riding SV's. And there was me worrying it was a girl's bike.
