I agree..especially with aftermarket exhaust.



A local place also has 2008 leftover CBR1000RR's for $7200....quite a deal.

I did a while ago- it's around here somewhere... ah well. The guy that rode it before me thought it was horrible- ignition cutting out and whatever else. I think he just had it on C "lame" mode. Put it in A, and the difference from the '08 was that it felt slightly more like a V-twin. And has an insane amount of heat directed at your right thigh. PAINFUL! I liked the 08 better- it's easy to ride until 7k or so, then it's "warp speed." Plus, any other year looks MUCH better.

Somewhat agreed.......However don't they still make that special tape you can put over the headlights, to make the lens look black even though it doesn't interfere with the light output?

Even though it's ugly, the R1 is suppose to be one badass mother fucker, which is a big plus. The cbr is suppose to be better for street riding though, so you got to choose whats important.
