just bought my 1st bike saturday. 06 cbr1000rr. riden a few but, never owned a streat bike before, but they made a deal i felt i couldn't refuse. are there any must do's before i really start riding next spring. got a good hemet and a nice riding jacket. can't wait to ride.

 

That's a pretty stout bike for your first. Respect it's power and you'll be fine though. [sm=icon_cheers.gif] Keep it rubber side down.

 

Welcome Aboard ....

Ill let that be said...Contrary to everything youve read or heard..if youre not careful..that bike will become your worst enemy..best of luck with that..if its your first street bike ya might wanna do some wrist exercises in the off season cuz they will be burnin up come spring time...if youve never ridden sport especially an 06...the angle is a lil agressive..some people find discomfort with the angle...but by all means...welcome aboard...POST THEM PICS

 

Hang on.


No seriously, hang the f*ck on.


Welcome.

and please take the MSF course.

 

Enjoy the new bike, they don't get much nicer than the one you picked out. Since you sound smart enough to respect the acceleration, make sure to be careful with the brakes. My scary noob moments come with stopping, too much of either front or back can be....trouble.

 

Give the keys to a good friend to hide til you do the MSF. Most importantly keep the rubber side down. Be careful... and welcome.

 

oh man im excited. thanks for all the advice. i'll be as safe as i can. im honestly gonna be scared of it and take it as slow as i can. having a little trouble finding insurance but that's a whole nother post. i ended up getting the silver, grey and black one. did i say i was excited ![sm=bounceybounce.gif]

 

Congrats on ur 1000RR !!! broom broom

 

Nice bike... Just make sure you're aware of everything around you and you'll be alright. Sounds like you've got the goods, but you might want to include somes boots in there. Ride hard (after the break-in period of course) but safe!
