I got this great offer from Honda. they are giving me a very good price for my bike and giving me the new cbr1000 for a reall good price.

$2500 less then what Yamaha want for the new R1.

You know me, I am an R1 soul rider and love yamaha. But the Honda is a great bike and the deal is awsome.

At least it's not a gixxer. :finger


What would you do?

CBR 1000 owners, What do you think about the bike?

Thanks.

Well I didn't like the Honda at first but the silver & black is growing on me. I'd do it.

I think you should move to the Gazza strip, then. :finger :finger

I don't know.... i think you should try the 04 R1 and the 1000RR before you make a decision.
And if you decide to go for the Honda because of the good deal, call your Yamaha dealer and tell him you got a great offer from Honda and see if he can give you a better deal than you now have from him.
In the end............. do what you think suits you better.

But if you get the Honda just remember you've lost a sexy bike :boobies to get a :butt ugly boat :ugh :finger :finger

You right about the ugly boat thing. but it's a great bike from the new generation models and $2500 it's a lot of money. My yamaha dealer knows about this offering and there is nothing he can do.


BTW, I am going to gazza strip in july.

Wow

Sorry, but for me that's the ugliest paint scheme for the 1000RR :ugh

When you say only this paint scheme do you meant it's the only on you like, or is the only one for that deal???

 

[redneck1089]

I think its a great bike, I'm sure you can't go wrong with it

 

[downtown]

Me like it the most.

Miller-R1, Sorry for dissapointing you :finger :lol

 

[R1Blue01]

Get the CBR, save the cash and trade up to the 1 when the new 1 comes out in 06. I am not sure about the, but you really can't go wrong with any of the litre bikes. But you can always be right on the 1.:riding

I would ge the black and red one...It's actually a really good looking bike in person. the only that sucks about that bike is that it's a little heavier than the the opposition.

Honda makes bullet proof engines...owned a few cbr600...nad I must say they survived quite well...I wanted to buy the 02 SP2 but Honda always mark up their damn bikes...and got a great deal on a R1 so the rest is history.

But I would trade it in just for the fact of having something new...

I have the Silver/Black 1000rr and it is beautiful. I have ridden the '04 R1 as well. To me the R1 needs more grunt throughout the entire midrange--which is where I, as a mere mortal, will ride it on the street and the track (very hard to keep a bike between 9500-13000rpms all the time). The R1 revs faster than the 1000rr (helps to speed the R1 to its powerband).

The extra weight on the 1000rr is a moot point. I do not feel the weight at all; in fact it feels lighter than my 954 with full Arata TI--and more powerful.

The R1 is 17lbs lighter and comes stock with a Titanium or mostly Titanium exhaust. Going to a full Arata TI system on the 600rr saved 14lbs. The 1000rr comes with a stainless steel exhaust. Once the full Arata TI system, PC3usb and map are added, the bike and should experience similar weight savings and about 10rwhp and 4rwtrq.

The Silver and black looks like a solid piece of aluminum--just beautiful, with the bright silver blending with the swingarm and the black of the lower faring a seamless transition.

The seat on the Honda is not as comfortable as the R1-Honda just likes the stiff seats.

Also, on low beam, the Honda has one small center headlight and one big side headlight on, and one side headlight off--I thought I had a light out! On high beam, all lights are on. The R1 is probably still the sexiest looking.

Pegs are also higher on the Honda.

These bikes are all off-the-charts awesome! Just get the one you like best. For my buddy, it was the R1; for me. it was the 1000rr.

[evor1]

[JOEROKE]

[downtown]

JOEROKE, How do you like it compare to your 02 R1?

03r1atmypace, Nothing wrong with my 03. Its a great bike and I love it. It is just the need for change. many of us have this need.
