Cb1000r
 

Does anybody have any experience with this bike? I'm thinking of getting one, and I'm just about to pull the trigger. I was just hoping somebody had some real world experience on one.

i heard good things about it

Same, but no personal experience. Just not a big I-4 fan.

A 40KM test ride. Took one out last summer at a Honda demo ride.

I seem to remember it having a pretty good mid range but nothing to write home about. It handled well and was easy to toss around with the wider bars. The lower gearing made it nice to be able to hammer it through the gears without hitting "Go directly to jail" speeds. Wind protection was pretty much nonexistent and could get annoying at even normal cruising speeds. I'm not really used to that type of seating position any more so my back gets pretty stiff in a hurry. I'm sure that's just something that would go away once I'm used to it though.

My verdict: It's a very nice bike. Certainly on the top of my list as far as Honda's current lineup. I dont think it would suit my needs if it were my only bike though. Finding any one bike to fit that bill is tough. What happened to your Z1000 plan you were recently talking about? That could save you a few pennies and still get you a similar bike.

No, but I like the looks of the red, white and blue bike next to it.

Yeah, I think the new CBR600RR is sweet looking. :rockwoot: Not that I'd ever buy one though.

Pulled the trigger. Getting it on Tuesday.

Sick. Congrats!!! :rockwoot:

Awesome. Can't wait to hear more abt it.

I'll be looking forward to a review as well. Congrats
