Default Motorcycle Traders review of the CBR (scan)

Sorry if this has been posted before..
Scanned this review from the Jan-Feb issue of Motorcycle Trader, pretty good review for the 92 model, they can be harsh sometimes on certain bikes (TL1000S for examply:P).

Not the best quality scans but it's still readable

Coopz could you tell me the paint code for your bike mine only covers the white. I am looking for a real red to spray my other 88

I'd love to know an easy way to replace the alternator chain

Thanks for sharing, Coopz - makes you wonder, with a write-up like that, why the bike isn't better known and respected among motorcyclists in general. I still have people asking me if it's Honda's new model - would that it were true....! and my mates still can't believe i can run with the sports bikes up to about 160MPH, on an 18 year old. with 60,000 Kilometers on the clock.
I guess we're the fortunate ones who found out what the Hurricane is really all about.....it's a rider's bike, and long may it continue !!

Thats right. It wasnt until EFI and forced induction did 1000cc bikes start breaking the CBR's 100kw mark.

Still not many Sports/Tourers over that even today.
