The CBR is the only bike we ever had hit redline in sixth gear. During those same top-gear runs, the others were a couple thousand rpm from red by the time the disappearing Honda rider hit the rev-limiter. In theory the other bikes, since they are geared taller, would eventually reel the Honda back in, but by that point the RR will be out of sight because it's so far ahead it isn't even funny. No matter who you are, that type of absurd open class acceleration is a good thing and it is the core component of this CBR's success story.

Enough said....

 

yup

 

Thats all good if all bikes remain stock. Get ya a zx10 or gix and spend 25 bucks going -1 frontand its all out the window again.

 

ditto back for the 08

 

I hear ya Rojer, not trying to start anything either. I just think people put waaaay to much stock in reviews these days, they are all awsome bikes in there own right. And smart money knows that honda is always the best total package, its nice they have a bit more pep this time around too. and now i lost where i was going with this ..........maybe ill remember later.

 

Sure body... I've seen you blowing gixers on other posts. Why dont you go to there sight with your smoke blowing?

 

It's all about the rider...

 

Make me Dude i am a Honda guy, but i am also very realistic. Just cause i prefer Honda dont mean i think they are the best at every last single thing. BTW nice first post.
