I still prefer the design of the 06-07 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsol2007 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I tracked a 2007 last year. I switched to a 08 this year. It is a completely different bike on the track. On the first day out I was 5 seconds a lap faster. Much easier to turn. The slipper clutch is awesome. I put a taylor made exhaust, power commander and ignition module on it and the power is awesome.

mrbret Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I prefer the ride of my 07 ZX10 to the 06/07 CBR1000 so depending on the ride & the price for the 08 CBR I may be talked into trading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 You telling me you can buy this bike for $7000?! That's used bike money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsol2007 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thats the cheapest I have heard. Pretty amazing technology and performance for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 08 and 07 are night and day. The feel is completely different. The ride? Guess they ride similar, but the handling and size of the 08 set it well apart and make the 07 feel very antique. The power delivery is better on the 08, as well...Go to a shop and ask to test ride one. You'll be impressed. 600 feel with really solid power. Not my favorite 1000, but at the prices they are selling them for, you can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
