Uncle Punk Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Some of you guys might have heard already because I posted it in the Buell thread. I figured I should not mess up that thread with more of my Honda pictures.I test rode the bike last Wednesday, bought it Saturday and rode it home today. 2008 CBR1000RR dealer demo with 2,800 miles new bike warranty started Saturday.WOW is all I can say after riding it around some today. I am starting to think I might have made a mistake buying a 1K, this thing scares me. I have owned a CBR1100XX, Busa and a ZX12R so I am somewhat used to bikes that are capable of going fast but this is different fast I'm afraid it's going to get me into trouble. I really liked my old 600 it wasn't fast enough to get me into trouble and it was kind of fun to ride a slow bike fast. Now I have a fast bike and I'm afraid to ride it fast. If I could have gotten a similar deal on a 600 I would have bought one but I only paid $6,500 for this bike I don't know of too many better deals out there for a sport bike.I don't have a digital camera except for the one in my phone so no pictures. I am going to find a rack to mount my bags to it but I think the whole baby thing will be retired.

wrillo Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Stock photo + no camera in your camera = double fail thread nice bike IP! I only saw the baby once, but I'm saddened by the thought of never again seeing a baby waving at me through corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Tod, sweet bike! That should make for a quick pace on 800. My new beast is being delivered tomorrow.Too bad the season is coming to an end. I'm going to plan a 3-4 day WV ride for the spring. The new R is going to need to stretch its legs.

Bad324 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 nice pickup! Not sure of what kind of bags you have but I have been considering ordering a tailbag from these guys and noticed this rack as well:http://www.thecycleguys.com/default.aspx?PageID=120&CategoryID=9&ProductID=29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Stock photo + no camera in your camera = double fail thread Sounds like the least useful piece of equipment ever made.

V4junkie Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Sounds like the least useful piece of equipment ever made. If it doesn't take pictures what does it do?It may be a russian nesting camera. Once you finally get to the center you find a camera actually small enough to photograph a Busa owner's twig and berries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 First post has been edited to fix the camera that doesn't take pictures. I already have the bags and pack rack just need the L-brackets. http://www.ventura-bike.com/fitments.aspx?modelid=979 Lots of storage if you put two bags together. Tony, I will be ready for a ride this spring. What's up with new bike fever in the fall, Garrett and Tony? Congrats to both of you on your new bikes also.

RVTPilot Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Tod, what little riding I have done around you, and from the guys we both know, I can't imagine you being scared of any bike. Scared you might rack up some wicked tickets? Sure. Can't see you afraid of a machine. Now will you be picking up a red bandana to compliment your new red bike?[ATTACH]1443[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now will you be picking up a red bandana to compliment your new red bike?[ATTACH]1443[/ATTACH]That is not me, I don't know how that rumor got started. I usually rock the gear. I did trade the blue ninja 250 in on the new Honda, it's one of the reasons I made the deal. They gave me $1,500 for the ninja and we only paid $1,300 for it. My girlfriend actually bought it but didn't take to it and was through with it. I have a healthy respect for it but am afraid it will speed me into a situation too fast. I don't ever want a 1K track bike because of the speed.I have been lucky on the 600 when I got in too hot, it was time to stop braking and make the turn hoping I had scrubbed off enough speed. This thing will certainly get me in more of those situations. Not that it happens often in fact only once this year on 26 did I have a moment where I thought that could have been bad. I would have rather had a 600 I think but I did kill the last one driving it around close to red line for hours in southern Ohio. This one should last longer if it doesn't end up putting me in a ditch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down hill left hander guard rails everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
