NikoFab Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Well as some of you know, I just treated myself to an upgrade recently (http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=147868&st=0), and Angie and I picked it up this past Monday. Here's a few shots as we're topping off... http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2011%20CBR%201000RR/2015-06-08/20150608_201132_zpshw62u1oe.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2011%20CBR%201000RR/2015-06-08/20150608_201120_zpstbf70hkr.jpg http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag71/Nikofab/2011%20CBR%201000RR/2015-06-08/20150608_201112_zpsqhf4rlm0.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) I bet that runs like some kind of wild animal! Have a blast with it! Oh my gosh Mike, it's amazing. I'll say this...I've never experienced anything like it before. Edited June 14, 2015 by NikoFab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) I bet. My buddy has an older R1 with little more than pipes and that thing is nasty fast. I'm sure that CBR keeps you in check P.S. Don't die. We need your parts :-) Edited June 14, 2015 by psu_Crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that CBR keeps you in check P.S. Don't die. We need your parts :-) It's an amazing machine. I figured it was going to beat the snot out of me, but I've been very surprised. It's only twenty pounds heavier than my 600 but actually feels lighter...it's very flickable and a lot more comfortable than I was expecting. The seating position is a little more aggressive than the 600, mainly due to the foot peg placement. The ride quality is terrific, and it's very smooth. Broke her in by riding it back to Houston from Dallas, which as anyone can tell you is a very long ride on a sportbike, but I was no worse for wear the day after. And the power is just jaw-dropping...the power band is so wide/long...it's going to be a bit before I'm solid on shift points and all that. Took her up to 154mph on a good clean stretch at one point...smooth as silk. Didn't have the nuts to go any faster without becoming more comfortable and familiar with it!
