This bike really is amazing! Very strong and handles like its on rails. Thanks to the electronic steering damper. Internals all stock. Removed 10 pound cat/muffler and added a MGP growler and then dove right into the under tail. Also a HB product.
As many know and remains true with this bike, the current liter bike is much too fast for the street. Top speed around 175-180 mph and gets there in a few seconds.

Not if you have a modicum of self control. A friend has a turbo gsxr1k that's never seen more than 80 on the roads...

Re: 08 CBR 1K
Being young and male is extremely dangerous.
Riding on the roads with others is extremely dangerous.
Doing stuff that is extremely dangerous is really fun - if you live thru it.
What's your point?

Re: 08 CBR 1K
08 CBR1000RR was a real move forward for Honda and the liter bike class. That bike is STILL , in its updated form , arguably the best liter sport bike out there. It doesnt have the BMW's top end power , the R1's cross plane crank, the Kawi's electronics or the Gixxers heritage.....but it is supremely capable . It has superb midrange/upper midrange power and an excellent chassis and brakes combined with good refinement and Honda reliability. You cant go wrong with one.......
