Should I get a 1000rr?
Whats up, I am just looking for pros and cons for the 04-06 1000rr. I have a 01 929rr and I'm looking for some insight from 1000rr riders. I'm staying with honda but I want to here you guys thoughts on your 1k's. I'm looking for a bike with good handling, thats why I got the 929. I heard that the 04-05 1k had thin cylinder walls and the motor was not as strong as a honda motor should be, saying that it is not reliable. Is this correct? And I heard that the 05rr was heavy and had bad breaking. I read up on the 06rr and I like what I read. Better control, more power, and lighter. I am 6'0 tall and 180lbs. I am tired of being beat up on by the gixxer 1000 and the R1, and I can't brag about beating 600's
What problems have you guys had with your bikes and what do you love about your bike other than it being a HONDA!!!I would greatly appreciate any comments. |

I 'm buying an 06 1000RR as soon as the dealers call me. Probably in the next few weeks. The bike weighs less than 400lbs. & It's a HONDA quality. Other companies might have better specs in certain areas, but over all, HONDA is HONDA & I will never ride anything else. I love the way honda's handle, less vibration, smooth ride, looks, quality, & performance.

Honda claims a dry weight of less than 400 lbs. I understand that this may not be totaly accurate, but still not bad at all.

I`ve never ridden the 929 so I couldn`t compare the 2 rides. Alls I know is I love mine and will keep it a good while. Best thing would be to go to a dealer and get a test ride on one, you`ll soon feel the differences from your daily ride. ;)

I have had 2 x 929s 1 x 954 and my 1000rr05 that i still i am still on at the moment depending on your finance go for the 1000rr if not the 954 is a top stead ,but the 929 in my opinion is no where near as good as the others..

Precision quality and controllable performance are still there... A notch here and a notch there for Suzi's, Kwaka's and a few R1's, but overall I've had no problem with them once the lean session starts. Since I'm concentrating more so on the road and what I can pull from it vs the others trying to control their rides a bit more - It seems you can start to perfect you riding earlier than on the others while they try to master their metal steeds... I'm just more comfortable on a Honda having had a 900RR for nearly 10 years. Moving up to the 1000RR has been nothing less than stellar!
Straight off the line the others are pulling a bit, but then again a sprocket here, pipe there, etc. would take care of that problem! To lean is divine and represents true rider capability when on a good circuit to me. I just go faster since I'm more comfortable. Having tried a ZX-10, GSXR, and R1 I know I was able to push farther on the Honda... The R1 was nice though but too thin. Might as well have been on a 600 which is my main nemesis. A great 600 driver is hard to stick with in the lean. Or.... I just need more practice!:eek: |

Not a weekend track guy or stunna, but always felt that I'd break 'fore she will....in a turn and on the throttle. In my area, dealers WITH NOT let you test ride, if you can't find a buddy or some one and give one a shot...sure you'll love it....course I'm a bit biased...
