Gel Grips and Gloves help also there Bugs ......belated welcome to the "farm" also

 

So ... have any of you worn through a pair of Michelin Pilots? I've heard great things about them from a friend who rides an FZ, but his bike is so much lighter, newer and well, it is a totally different bike. I understand that radials aren't the best fit/function for old Hurricanes. I'd love to hear what you guys like to use and why.

 

I did - a pair of PR2's
19000 K (11800 odd miles)

Plenty of comments on tyres
Look in the history files

Hi John ... Yer just down the road from me ... I'm in sunny (?) Blackpool!!!

Nice looking F-H .... ... Mines and F-J and nowhere near as nice .... but she still rides well!


Might see ya around and about sometime soon mate!

 

Welcome John. I to Sold a 92 FZR 1000 Genesis for the 1000F. Your right they just dont compare at all. The Yamaha had plenty of grunt like the 1000F does but thats where the similarities end. Honda have the far better machine imo. Cheers mate.

 

hi all
iam dave .. from the south burrnett in sunny queensland Australia just got my self a cbr 1000 that needs a little love after a close encounter with a roo ... but am finding this place is a great source of info.....

 

Welcome, Dave! Roos are bad news for sure. Over here, it's whitetail deer. They're everywhere in PA and I've had a few close encounters myself. Glad you like the site.

Yep, these bikes will corner just fine. I've heard people say that, too, but they're usually just not used to the bike. Cranking them over takes a bit more effort than a smaller, lighter bike.... and you can hit hard parts if you go too far. (which is waaay over)
Welcome to the CBRF, man. Nice 'cane ya got there....
