That makes more sense. I'm gloveless with no heaters, riding in 5-6 degrees C.

 

Be careful to yourself and concider glooves for protection.

 

10-4. I will probably ride straight from work and get some. I know I need them, but I also like the feel w/out them.

 

I ride all winter in Colorado with my summer elkskin gloves. But my hands are protected by Hippo Hands. They are a leather pocket that clips over each handlebar end, and you stick your hands inside. I have used them on different bikes for over 20 years. Here are some on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vette...spagenameZWDVW

 

Interesting. I have never seen those before. Thanks for the advice. It was much nicer last night and this morning here. 50-60F.

 

recently it's been great here.. but last week it was about 2-5C as well (40ish) handlegrip heaters are a godsend.. now if I can get some shin warmers.. I wear steel toed shoes riding to work, and they don't prevent wind from whipping around my ankles too well..


VERY nice bike, i paid 2600 CDN for mine, but it wasn't in the condition that yours is in.. (actual out of pocket cost was less, my car had a far higher trade in value than I paid for it) it's also my first street bike, so it's been on it's side at a standstill a couple times already.. I think that may be out of my system now.. I don't have to practice for any skills tests anymore doing lock-to-lock figure 8's etc which is just ASKING to dump the bike sometime or another...

 

In answer to your question I am 6 feet 3 inches I weight 110 kilos and have just bought a 92 cbr 1000 f and found it too be very comfortable indeed I rode over a thousand ks on the weekend and felt fine after I got home my wife and I actually took our dogs for a walk alos I am 49 years old so it suits me to a tee, I paid $ 4,500.00 Aus dollars for mine and I thought that I had a bargain

 

$4k5 is a good buy in Australia, I paid 5k for my 94 model, the US and the Canadians seam to have it cheap over there when buying bikes

 

Hi I have a question with the CBR I bought it is hard to start in the mornings I have just placed a new set of plugs in here but have to wait till its dead cold again Damb hard when you see it siiting willing you to take it for a spin but have you experainced any starting problems once running she is fine tons of power and no problems only when its cold

 

mine starts fine.. don't touch the throttle when cranking.. just turn the choke on, and crank... mine won't start if I open the throttle at all... it's the choke design which isn't truely a choke, it's an enrichment..
