I'm getting that itch....

[Snatch Napkin]

I love my SuperChicken 996, but the loose feeling ride in comparison to an RC51 isn't for everyone.

I thoroughly enjoy the way I throw it around corners.

Any modern day bike will have enough power to keep you entertained, honestly, so I would just go to a bunch of dealerships and sit on literally dozens of bikes. You'll end up finding one that speaks to you, and that's the one you should buy.

True that. I took out a CBR 1000rr yesterday. Holy sweet hell!

Did you get a chance to get comfortable on it and see what it can do?

I stretched it out a little bit. But I'll be honest, not being my bike, I didn't feel comfortable really ripping shit up.

EDIT: It was completely brand new.

I was thinking more along the lines of handling around corners. That's where I'm hooked.

I already know it will be outrageously faster than your current scoot.

I just couldn't let the opportunity pass to give you some shit.

'11 or '12 model ?

[SMKR]

I've owned probably 12 different sportbike models and CC sizes over the past 15 years and my vote goes to the zx10r or gsxr 1k. I started on 600s then went to 750s then to the 1000s and stuck with those. Kawi and Suzuki's get my vote for comfort and seat/handle positioning. Best thing to do is go sit on a few.

12, I believe

12, I believe

Nice. I'd sell my soul for the hrc anniversary edition with abs!

[dsrtuckteezy]

well shit, if youre willing to shell out for a '12 1000rr, id be looking at a 2011 zx10r and the beemer

I had a 2007 GSXR750 and it was a nice running bike. The only issues I could tell you to look out for is the electrical system. The stators seem to like to take a crap on you, but they are easy to replace and not too expensive.

You can test the electrical system before purchasing. Just take a voltmeter and remove the seat. With the bike running you should be around 13 or 13.5 volts I believe. While giving it a bit of throttle it should spike up. If it doesn't, there is a problem.

My friend has a 09 GSXR750 with full exhaust, sprockets, K&N, power commander, and it's pretty damn quick!

Do some sit-ups!! lol


I do remember the sales guy saying that it didn't have ABS, perhaps it was an '11

Didn't say I was willing to shell out that much (yet). It was just the first bike I looked at at the Honda dealership up the road. It's a small joint, and it was the only sport bike they had in the showroom. He said he'd sell it to me for $11,699 plus tax, title, and license.
