929 or f3

I know it seems like a stupid question, and everyone will say get the 929 but the catch is that the 929 is $2000 and is super clapped out.... leaky fork seals, the neck on the frame has been rewelded, the frame has a nickle size hole drilled in it, it needs all new bearings(headset, swing arm ect) but it has gearing, handbreak, cages, bar, its a clean title and the motor runs good. Now the f3 is extreamly clean besides a couple scratches on the right side it only has 8000miles and its also $500 cheaper plus i could sell the plastics and buy my cages and handbrake, and I have no need for a bar. I am at the point where i can consistantly get 3/4 of a circle, but that was on my old zx6. So what will be easier to lurn cicrles on, a twitchy 929 or a carbed f3?

Re: 929 or f3

I would but it only costs money...... that I dont have. I have 1500, and the guy that has the 929 said he would let me make payments on the rest

F3's are throttle circlers, idle just doesnt have the ***** that injected bikes have

Re: 929 or f3

true but injected bikes hold the idle better. Carbed bikes start to choke out and bog on idle. Fuel injection will just go round and round no problem

I have had both also, and with the same gearing the f4i does not have any more low end then the f3 or even the f2 for that matter. It doesnt stall out however wich makes a big difference.

Re: 929 or f3

Im not too worried about the money that can or cant be maid. I stopped ridding after I broke my frame on my last bike and I was in the process of working on circles, I just want something thats a little easier to learn on thats all.
