CBR 1000F "Hurricane" 1987-1996 CBR 1000F

What will it be like for me going from a 600 to a 1000?

I agree. And that's been my experience too. I'm new to the "sport bike" experience (Well, at least a semi-sport bike). I've always had long, heavy cruisers with no real wheelie capability (except for my early Honda 350 and Yamaha dirt bike), so I never really developed the skill. Now I just get an inadvertent (more or less) "power" wheelie from time to time. And that's just fine. If I want a wheelie machine, I'll get a banged up 600 and be sure and eat a lot of calcium (given my age).

Very true. Just got off it again. It's about like my first bicycle. So proud, and can't quit playing with it.

And I missed the Saloon bit. Going there now. Sorry for the social fox paw.

I saw you're intro and it was a good one.
That "" was meant for sprock.

Go ahead, try it yourself...

Just say: Gosh dammit, sprock!!! Get with the program!!!

I do it all the time.

As far as the wheelies... this bike isn't the one for it. Sure you can do it. Most bikes will do it. It's the question of whether you want to....

HA HA!! Nope, not me...

It's just a crazy guy with a baseball bat in a thong, clogs, and a kid's football helmet..... with what appears to be a building burning in the background.

I don't even remember where it came from.

Yep, it was actually something I found, and I think I said it was a pic of Nevada since the guy is wearing a leopard thong and all... as you know Nevada was quite fond of leopard print thongs... lol... and pink scarfs...

I'm not QUITE that fat... or ugly... or crazy.... (well, maybe I am that crazy)
