Oh of course it's capability is not used to it's fullest in the CB1000F as is typical of nakeds.
-
What your personal bike on some random dyno at some bike night that god knows how it's calibrated? lol Sorry, I'll take the manufacturer's word for it.
-
Hey, no problem thanks for posting with clarity and resorting to name calling.
-
Welcome! I've got an old Yammie that I'm trying to get motivated to cafe-itize.
-
Those pipes are awful, aren't they? I think the bike overall is hot though.
-
People have been mistaking crank numbers with wheel numbers this whole thread.
-
You must not have any friends because, friends don't let friends ride Katanas.
-
You'd have to assume the base model will be close in line with the Z1000 and FZ1 in regards to pricing. Nakeds are a hard enough to sell in the US to price one way above the others. That's why my Tuono sat unsold for 2 years. Unless you have a major hard-on for Italian bikes who's going to pay $13k for a naked when you could grab an FZ1 for $3-5k cheaper (in 2008)
-
I'm with ya. I'm very happy we're getting more nakeds too. I hope the cross-plane crank ends up in the FZ1 at some point. I am still a fan of Yamaha. Hell, I would've had an FZ1 if my friend who's a Yammie rep could've worked a comparable deal (to my Tuono) with me.
-
Just get a new Striple. Not a fan of the new lights but, with the optional shield it's very tolerable.
-
125-ish at the crank... http://www.mbike.com/honda/cb1000r/2011 I know what I'm talking about.
-
I own a 2008 Aprilia Tuono and 3 1975 Yamaha TX500s.

Traded in on a Harley. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
-
There's not snowball's chance in hell that bike is making 130 to the wheel. Besides when have you ever known a manufacturer to quote WHP? They can't really. An engine dyno is much more accurate and the results much more repeatable within tight parameters. A bike or car on other dynos will have results that vary drastically.

Okay, I take back some of the horrible things I was going to type about you.
-
Walmart has always had saddlebags...
-
You ride a GSXR your opinion on on bike aesthetics is null and void.
-
Good start! I look forward to updates.
-
She got'em fixed anyhow.
-
Yeah, he was really raked over the coals.
-
Exactly.... It won't be under $10k Keep in mind it goes right up against the Z1000 more than anything.
-
Yeah, The V-Max took a jump in price. I'm with ya though Ducati is stepping into the "Power Cruiser" arena with the Diavel and I'm betting it's a lot more fun to ride than the 'Max.
-
"Based on" implies that the bike is literally designed/built with Yamaha parts, on a Yamaha chassis, or utilizes a Yamaha engine.
-
Then why get all angry about a bike you have no interest in or knowledge of?
-
An expensive V-Max? The standard comes in about $2k cheaper and the carbon edition a couple hundred more. All while looking a lot better than a V-Max. I like the V-max and Yammies in general but, c'mon the V-Max is not a good looking bike.
