Dude, that CBR is sweet! Don't let anyone tell you different! It would be my first choice in a Japanese bike.

The DN01 on the other hand...  vomit
Honda really threw the dice on that one - snake eyes!  laughingdp

Congrats!  I really like the look of the new CBR, and from what i've read its a very capable bike.

Honda makes fantastic motorcycles, and that CBR is no exception.  I had a 954 a while back and loved the damn thing

but.... sometimes Hondas do go wrong



I tell where they went wrong...They went wrong by not updating the Super Hawk. I would have bought a new one If there was one to buy, but now Im riding a real Ducati and not just a knock off.  Grin

+1, or maybe an RC51. I was planning on getting an SBK this summer, but given the reliability problems with my M696, if it doesn't improve I might have to (gasp) get a Honda instead.

First of all, thanks for all the compliments and compliments.

Here's an ironic thought for you...

My avatar here has my name in a spade with the title of "Usual Suspects".  That's a name me and 7 of my riding buddies call ourselves (totally tongue in cheek) because we all ended up going on the same rides.  The best part of that?  We met on the DML...
(for reference - goldenchild, Cru Jones, Dizzle, Pakhan, Beattie, rcpete, patricks2r and me)

At that time of the 8 of us, 6 of us rode Ducatis.

Today, only 3 of us even own a Ducati, and 1 of them is selling his.  On a ride this year there will only be 1 Ducati, guaranteed (Pakhan), and at least 5 Hondas.  Go figure...

Very nice.  There's a guy who runs the local weekly rides around here that had an 848 for quite a while before he switched over to the CBR and he can't say enough about the thing.  In fact, I get mostly the same comments out of him that everyone else has said.  "It's not the Duc, but I still love her"  Smiley.

Funny you say that...

I have a list of mods to do this weekend in preparation of a ride we're doing Sunday that will take me all night tonight and all day tomorrow.  (Frame sliders - which involve cutting plastics, HID lights, tail chop **see!  Ducati's aren't the only ones!**, and turn signal/mirror replacement).

At least I'm just cutting plastic with the tail chop, and not spending an hour with a cheap pipe cutter from Ace Hardware!
