Curious how the 2006 CBR 1K stands up to a GSX 1K on a track and on the street?

me 2!!!! even stunting

 

According to bike magazines, CBR ranks as #2 behind it. GSXR 1000 is still the overall dominator. But i think that CBR is much better quality wise.

 

well im gonna be racing a 04 tommorow so i will let you know... when i rode my frineds 04 i didnt think it had the power to 7rpm that the 06 had. Wish me luck!

 

An 04 what? What does that have to do with a CBR vs. G1K? Forget what the mags say...they bikes are ALL very close! My 04 CBR made very close power to a ZX or GSXR stock for stock same years. I would imagine the 06's are close as well. Quality and smoothness of the Honda can't be beat though.

 

my bad GBracer I figured everyone would know its was a 04 gixer due to the thread being CBR1000 v/s Gsx 10000. Just to clear everything up I will be racing a 04 Gixer 1000 with a yosh slip on and a custom PCIII map.

 

when i getmy 06 1000RR i have a race with a zx10r, with low miles, full exhuast, k&n air filter, custom tune and -1.. i can launch better, he never shuts up about how fast he is, i believe i can beat him, what do u guys think, my 06 will be stock when i first try it, then exhuast, bmc race filter, voclity stacks, flapper mod, -1 in front, pcIII.. custom tune then i will try it again and we will see what happends

 

In stock form, it is like splitting hairs, nothing really in it. I rode both before buying my Blade. If you could ever use it the GSXR has a higher top end. The Blade got to 180km/h first, if you dropped the rear sprocket to a 40 I'm sure the Blade would make the same top end and the GSXR would be next to it at 180km/h. Unfortunately the dealers would not, understanibly, allow me to ride either on the track to compare lap times. Then once I got mine on the track it was far from stock as I'm sure all the GSXR's were ..... then there is rider ability that becomes the biggest factor. I say go with the one that 'stirs' you the most when you ride it.

 

IMO even with the mods made to the Ninja, minus a gear change, it will come down to rider skill. From what I have learned going down one tooth in front and up two in the rear will do more for launching off the line then a PC or pipe. I can take my buddy of the line, me on my 05 600RR and him on his 04 600RR only because I geared mine. Other wise I'm sure he would have me every time since he been riding all kinds on and off road bikes for years longer.

 

i read up on the 1ks before i bought my cbr. seems the concesus (not spelled right i'm sure) was that for the track buy the gsxr but for street get the honda
