Just bought my 1st 954 about 2 months ago, had been sitting out side a buddies house in his side yard for about 6 years. I paid 700 for it, so far I am about 700 into repairs and replacements parts. I am getting older now So I am turning it into a sit up bike. LSL upper triple and bars with brembo rs front master galfer brake lines and renthal grips. Should be a blast once it is completed and road worthy again. Also replacing all coolant lines, replaced oil, and replacing fuel tank.

I have one exactly like yours, smooth and comfortable unlike my 2000 R1 which is a brute power wise and not very comfortable but the 954 is my daily ride. Beautiful and smooth, I love both but for different reasons.
