Hey, guys. My names Nate. I'm a fan of pretty much all bikes. Favorites being Kawis and Triumphs (That I can afford). I ride bikes quite a bit, just not my OWN bikes.. For a starter bike of my own, I was going to get a CBR, 04 probably. I was wondering if it was a good bike. Not to learn on, I ride quite a bit. I've got the routine down to pat. Just wondering if there was anything I needed to know. I'm moving to AK pretty soon, I see quite a bit of CBR's there. They seem REALLY nice. I don't know too much about them. So, something like this..

I just wanted to straight up ask if there was any known issue on the 04's. If I get it, expect me to be around frequently. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.

In addition, I've heard CBR's are completely kickass, especially in the 600 class. So, I'm somewhat psyched to get a 600.

 

The 600 RR is solid. You won't be disappointed from a performance or reliability standpoint. Good luck.

 

Yeah, you really can't go wrong, as long as the bike is well maintained. Welcome to the site.

 

Honda's are known for their reliability. Around here where I'm at... Honda's are real real rare. (we got a few more when the '07 came out). That being said, most people I talk to will HANDS DOWN admit that honda makes a very sturdy and dependable bike that, in the right hands, is a dominating machine on the road and track.

 

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. I remember the first thing I heard about Hondas (when my friend and I went to look at GSXR's which I never liked) was that each one is consistent out of the shop and always sturdy. I haven't heard a bad thing that would peak my interest about it at all. I just wanted to make sure. Expect to hear from me quite a bit.

 

Welcome

 

Hello & Welcome!!

Hondas do not have issues....(somewhat of a lie...LOL!) But seriously....you buy something mechanical, something will go wrong either tomorrow or 20 years from now...that is the way it goes....
