V4junkie Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Wish I had my bike sold, you could pick one of those up and sell it about a year later for the same price. I'd love to ride one of those for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubguy85 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 That deal is going on everywhere, but its still plus tax, freight, set up, etc etc... Even honda NW here in Hilliard said they can do that, but its still over 8000 out the door...Still considering it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 lulz. I do like the yellow/black combo though.Worst case, attackpainter could make me a copper one.If I wasn't saving for another car, I'd have a '08 CBR1000RR as my liter bike. I'm still missing the liter bike from my starter collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I got a shop in Ashland, KY with NO PREP AND NO FREIGHT doing them at $7299. You pay tax and license fees...Shop is Ashland Cycle Center. Give them a hollar!Sure other shops are doing the same thing. Honda has a rebate deal going, I believe...

yamablaster024 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thats nuts, under 8k for a new liter bike, and not a bad bike whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I think Honda East is doing them for $7,250 no prep or freight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslocum Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Pretty much the same deal when I bought my 06'. I was looking at the 07' 600rr for 8500 and the guy said I'll sale you this 06' 1000rr for 8300. I was like this is a no brainer. 9k OTD I thought that was a decent deal.

kzz21 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thats the bike I was going to buy until I went to that bike spefic form and read about the problems (oil burning, etc) They don't replace but rebuild if you get a bad one.

balaormiga Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Awesome price. The oil burning issue seems to be a hit and miss..we have some guys on the board like CBRzach that have had no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKatz Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Awesome price. The oil burning issue seems to be a hit and miss..we have some guys on the board like CBRzach that have had no issues. CBRZach has the wrong year bike to be affected....I thought this applied to 08+ models.....Zach's is older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod38um Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Early 08's had more trouble than late 08's so check dates....... even so, everyone on my CBR forum agree its the best bike they have ever been on. They say it handles better than the 600 with all the oomff of a 1000. Nobody I know of would trade for anything else....... that kinda says it all.......Myself, I'm happy enough with my 07, I'll wait a couple more years..........

Rod38um Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Here is the most honest review I've seen from a guy who knows bikes. (quote):I am a Honda dedicated person , 14 hondas to date , recent ones 929, 954 . So here is my review after 3 months and 2500 miles on the 08 1000.1--First off it uses oil , about 5 ounces for every 500 miles, varies depending on how hard you ride it.2--They should fire the person that designed the tab style hook together body work.3--there is a painted panel under the rear of the bike that is unprotected from spinoff debris from the rear tire, and mine is scarred with numerous rock chips, bad design.4--the paint is cheap and gets chips easily, I had my 954 for 6 years and road the **** out of it(45K miles) and it had only a few chips on the front and barely showed, the new bike after one trip had 3 good chips on the front fairing and numerous marks on the lower fairings right behind the front tire,5--I paid good money for the seat cowl and found it is a cheap piece of plastic (although the color match was perfect I had to cut rubber thingys and make a template and all kinds of rediculous **** to put it on and guess what the rubber tabs on the back fell off after one day of riding.6--the stock exhaust where the black part was, discolored after 250 miles and turned kinda white.7--The first day I had the bike I decided to put a new windscreen on it, you know dark smoke to make it look cool and one of the lower tabs just crumbled as I removed the stock windscreen. I decided this was also a poor design and broke off the other tab also and drilled holes in the fairing and added two more stays.8-- the rear hugger as I have heard is designed to protect the rear shock from debris , but if you lay a simple straight edge across the plane it only protects half of the rear protuding nitrogen cylinder as mine is sandblasted half way up.Now the important stuff , when I get on the bike I forget about all this stuff as the bike is the best handling and most responsive bike I have ever riden in my entire life it just simply handles like a dream and has incredible and controlable power. I just wish that honda isn't going to abandon there fit and finish for performance to keep up with the other bikes as they have seem to do on this bike.If Honda does not return to their expertiese in fit and fit and finish I will not buy another one, I think the 2010 model will be much better as they know about this **** and will acknowledge most of it but they need to sell bikes and this is not like honda to skimp as they have on this bike in the fit and finish department and they also know about the oil consumption issue but I am sure they will not are willing to issue a recall for all the bikes they have sold cause of the massive costs, but if they did then I may have the restored respect in Honda.In the end I still love this bike but it should be better by Honda standards of the past.
