new cbr1000rr ?????

i hate the look of the new cbr 1000rr.
but this one has really made me think differently about it.
i nearly creamed my pants when i saw it..

Nah - it still looks like a skinny ar$ed b*tch with a 34DDD up front.

I like it

It looks so tiny in the flesh

..or 'in the metal' ?

The original one looked so much better

I couldn't agree more... it's really a stunning bike. Supposed to corner better at high speeds now.

I have the dealer's card, I just haven't had a dry weekend to call him on.

However... no way would I pay the £9299 list price. It's the most expensive of all the litre sports bikes.

Bike magazine have a review of all 3 Japs this month... might still be out. Fireblade comes out top against GSXR 1000, ZX10R.

I like the race version, but not in road trim. Exhaust looks horrible and I found this when I was looking at the R&G website earlier...



...and I thought the stock R6 number plate hanger was bad

Each to their own, but I prefer the look of the 07 model

Is that a hint of jealousy I can hear!?

I didnt lik eit at first; in the mags and MCN, it looked like a larger version of the CBR125.

The I saw one at the london bike show. In black.

I began to like it.

THEN I saw a guy riding one, in white.

I now really really like it

Its the only 1L bike I think I could own, I don't know why but the other 1L bikes seeeem more focused (probably not, probably no differance really)
