Hey guys sorry to tell you this but the CL is going to be looking the way it does for a while now. I've been wanting a street bike for a while now. So in two weekends I'm going to go get one of these

2005 Silver/Silver Metallic CBR1000RR

 

Looks like fun... don't kill yourself

 

Sweet ass bike, but be careful, and be careful of other idiots driving cars

 

Is this ur 1st bike? 1000 cc might be a little much man..

 

^ thats what i'm saying...1000cc is too much for a first bike.

 

Thats an aweful lot of bike. If its your first, you should look at the 600cc.

 

the 600RR looks the exact same, just lighter and more tame..... give it a drive before you make up your mind. As you are about to hear, going with a 1000 out of the starting block might not be the more educated decision you are about to make. But hey, thats my two cents, and gotta respect the fact we live in the USA, you can do what you want! goodluck with your purchase.

 

get an r1, or r6 the special black with the red trim!!!!!!

 

that's the bike(a little older)that burned the f*ck outta my leg... nice bike, that thing moves

i'm scared of that bike!!! you cant take off at wot or you will have a ghost rider.....( i've seen it flip)

 

your insane if thats your first bike haha. jus be careful. i know a guy who had a 600cc and i thought that thing was fast as hell

 

but my is get an R1 if your going big dog

not impressed with the r6...if you get on an r1 you'll know why!!!hits 160-170 without trying....

 

dude i wouldn't go to a 1000cc bike if it's ur first. you should learn on a 600cc bike first like i am doing and learn on that bike on how to balance it and drive it well. i've drove a 1000cc bike once and it was alot. it was heavier then the 600 and deffinitly not as tame. if your going for honda get the 600F4i or you can go RR. but the F4i is a better riding position and a much easier bike to drive. i've only been riding bikes for a month and do not own one personally but been driving my godfathers 600F4i. i've also ridden his 1000cc bike two weeks ago and hell it was nuts and alot of bike.

 

he needs to learn on a dirtbike.. i learned on a kawasaki 250, then up to a ducati 900.. now my baby is a yzf 1000 ))) hhhhell yea.. its too much for me, and i've ridden bikes for 7 years. take the motorcycle safety course

oh trust me I know that a lot of bike for my first one. I tried the R1, I like it but they are too expensive. Also I sat on the CBR600 and it's way to small for me. Because I am 6'5" it's kinda hard to find a bike that I can sit comfortable on. I even told the salesman that was helpin me that I was afraid of it and he said it only goes as fast as I want.

 

thats a fast bike
just be careful man
a lot of people end up bad in em

 

if u want to stay honda try the i think 94-97 VFR750 or the newer VFR800's also known as the interceptor. V4 but the 800's are more refined and comes with vtec. very torqy motors and look very nice..not an all out sport bike but goes like hell and very comfertable to ride on. and plus ur not totally making love to the tank either liek you would with the CBR1000RR

 

Of couse it only goes as fast as you want....but thats after you get a feel for the throttle+clutch feathering; first gear can be a bitch sometimes. And as for the "that bikes too much for you" part of the process, any bike will be "too much" if you dont know what your doin in the first place. I hate how people have the misconception of a liter bike being able to kill you more quickly than a 600....it doesnt matter what one your ridin when someone switches lanes or backs up w/o lookin.....it's the same result. Respect your bike and respect the fact that you might become a statistic sooner than expected. IMO, go used first > saves on insurance. Just my Sorry if its harsh..no flaming intended.

 

ok guys well I talked to one of my really good friends that has been riding for a while and he told me to not get that bike as my first bike and go back to the dealer and sit on the CBR600RR since it's the same size. So i went back there and I definitely like the 600 AS much if not better since it's only $8000 instead of $13000 for the CBR1000RR
