Cb1000r

Just a quick review.

I've put about 100 miles on it so far. It has plenty of power. Much more than I was expecting. Any gear, and above 2500 rpm and it gets going in a hurry.

It handles extremely well. I haven't pushed it by any means, but from what I have experienced its not lacking in any way I can see.

The one thing that has taken some getting used to after the Firebolt is the lack of immediate downlow torque. But, it is giving up 200ccs and has twice many cylinders.

I can't get over how effortless and smooth it is. Ill let you all know more when I get the tach past 7000.

Yeah dude, going from a Buell to anything Japanese is a big difference in smoothness... Lack of vibrations and not needing to smash into each gear takes some getting used to.
