07 1000rr as a daily driver
alright, right now i got a mustang gt and its killen me on gas mileage and insurance and car payment.. soo im trying to get rid of it and get a 2007 cbr 1000rr. i have almost a year experience on a 05 f4i, and after i rode my friends zx10r i wanna get a litre bike. and the 1krr seems like my ideal choice. but itll be my only means of tranportation for a couple of months until i can save enough money for a cheap honda civic beater for rainy days.. but my question is how many people use there 1000rr's as a daily driver? pro's and cons'? pickin up dates?? thanks guys lookin forward to bein in here once i get it. oh yea and i live in dallas and the weather is starting to feel better and better every day just the wind is being a bitch lately. so i shouldnt have any problems with snow/ice.

I ride everyday to work, and the only problem I have is when I have to take extra stuff to work and it doesnt all fit in my backpack. I guess a tank bag would rid me of that problem. I love riding everyday except now cause bike is in shop. I live in San Diego so I ride everyday except on rain days, and for now till I get the bike back.

Guys complaining about books should get a cargo net. I use mine and it does not restrict me when I ride and can hold a back pack and another case for clothes on my tail section. I'd take a 600cc bike for the gas saver daily driver.

I rode it to school every day when I was in college... if it doesn't fit in your bag learn to live without it

The ZX10 is more powerful, but a lot less forgiving. If you read any of the shootouts, they say that the honda is a better daily commuter/street bike because it is smoother, more predictable and more forgiving. But with either bike- it really comes down to the rider.
I use my 1000RR as a daily commuter (exept for freezing temps (32 and below) and rainy days). I am also going to school and I found a tank bag that will hold up to 5 of my books. Just be sure it is NOT a magnetic tank bag. Parking is also great - I have never received a ticket for parking my bike on the sidewalk on campus. |
