I am planning on riding to the west coast. I am looking for a beater bike to do it with. A 1995 or older SS should be a fun ride and cheap to insure. I have a CBR F2 sitting, but I am somewhat tempted to get myself a liter bike for the trip. Having a very good experience with the F2 the CBR900RR tempts me most. How much "sportier" is the 900RR over the F2? I found the F2 to be a very comfortable bike is the 900RR worse? I saw people complaining about the 900RR handling on bumpy roads. Reality is, bumpy roads are all around, the F2 handled reasonably on bumpy roads. Is the 900RR much harsher?

Any other suggestions? 95 or older zx11 maybe?
