Some serious maintenance involved there tho, burnt out wire looms n the like,

 

Find a used one to ride until the new models come out. Practice so that you don't screw up the 1000. You have time, give it a shot.

 

+1 on what mmookey said.

 

make that +2

 

Yea, I also agree to getting some riding skills in place before jumping on a brand new $12-13,000 rocket. Most of these guys on this forum have many years of riding, all types of bikes and still have had mishaps but at least they have experiance enough to know how to handle a potential disaster. Do like the one guy who flew to Vegas or somewhere in that region just to go to a superbike school. They provide the bikes to learn on and you will know more and have more skills than the average street joe when you get yours.
If nothing else get the book Total Control by Lee Parks. My local library has it. I've been riding all my life and I still learned alot from that book. It definatly helped me on my cornering for when I went to the mountains. Good luck

 

yeah i think you guys are right, but damn i just want a new good lookin honda. i think im gonna sleep on this for a couple of days. i am going to take that one superbike school though.

 

the new color scheme for the 06 1rr is: Lt. Blue/yellow, Red/black, Silver/titanium, and all black....as for the 06 6rr: Red/black, all black with Red logos, Orange/black tribal, and all silver....personally the Lt. blue/yellow and the orange/black tribal are the limited editions and they are ugly as hell
