they r giving those bikes away **** i can get on 08 1000rr for what some of these dicks are paying for 600 he was talkinf9500 with the undertail and a new helmet to match the was goin to give me 4000 for my bike the busa's are 10500,zx1000was11500 and the 14 was 10500 also and they were marked prices on these bikes **** they had cbr 600 for 9500 but that matte black one is beutiful if only it was a 954 i would have bought that

 

I agree completly. The 954is THE ONLY sport bike worth owning. Iv ridden alot of bikes and NONE compare... I used to ride a 07' zx6r and the 954 out does the zx6r in every aspect- period...

 

I have not been able to test ride a 1k rr yet, but I was at the dealer yesterday, and I sat on one,and I was schocked at how light it felt. All the reviews for say that its the mostimpressive 1k ever built. I think the styling is not as classic as the 54. But I think honda is continuing to pump out the best machines on the road period. I think its weird to be talking down on the new 1k because, its an amazing machine. After I sat on it I was courious, it felt lighter, but I got on the internet to compare specs, on the 54 there was a claimed 370 and the 1k brocure in the dealership said the 08 was 430. so the question is did honda get more honest with the claims on the dry weight or is the 54 really that much lighter?

 

The 954really that lighter. The 08 1k rr has a lower center of gravity and feels nimble between the knees, but is actually a heavier bike. The engine is set alot lower in the chassis on the 1k, thus it feels lighter, not to mention the plastic gas tank. I have been on the 08 1k and its still an impressive machine, but Id like to race one in the twistys and see if it can keep up

 

new ones???? pssst discontinued n replaced. Not that make the 954 or 929 bad bikes or worse. I like my old bike

 

I'll have to disagree......I like my 954 and love my F4i......But i rode a buddies new 08 100rr awhile back and man that thing is nasty. The weight feels like a 600, but the power is rediculous. Basically its a 600, until u give it throttle. He have up his Ducati 1098s for the 1000rr and it seems to have been the right choice. GRanted the looks of the 1000rr arent all that great. But considering the bike weighs less than my 954 and it has more HP. When u compare HP to weight ratio....Its like comparing apples to oranges.....IMO the 1000rr wins. But the 954 is great because every body and their momma doesnt have one at bike night, LoL.....=-)

 

it might be a state by state thing. here in jersey, the first thing they say is, no effin way, insurance, etc...

me and my cousin went into the dealer considering the 07 leftovers that they have so many of. and even with us thinking about buying 2 of them, they still werent willing to let us test one.

 

the 1000 is not lighter than the 954.
its claimed dry weight is 5lbs heavier, the 07 is 12lbs more than that.

unless i'm getting bad info here.

 

No way in hell the 954 is lighter.....=-)


Last year, Honda became the first manufacturer to pull out of the crazy “dry weight” claims among the OEMs. Since 2007, Honda has been providing a fuelled-up, ready-to-ride weight in its published specifications. And this apparently includes the tool kit and owner’s manual! Below is a rundown of some of the fully fueled weights of CBRs over the years.


1993 CBR900RR: 455 lbs 2003 CBR600RR: 445 lbs (2007 CBR600RR: 410 lbs) 2004 CBR1000RR: 469 lbs 2006 CBR1000RR: 452 lbs 2008 CBR1000RR: 435 lbs

 

You are trippin... Look up the stats on the honda website... 954 is 370 dry. The 1k is claimed by Honda at 425 DRY WT. I have done every weight reduction measure to my 954 that can be done, and with a full tank of gas it weighs 379 lbs, and dynoed at 149.7 hp to the wheels. Nowthat is a good power to weight ratio. Where you gettin your info?
