Hard to say Chain. With 08 1ks going for less than 09 600rrs, dealerships making a lot of new rider doubt their own sanity if they don't jump on the 'fantastic price'.

Unfortunately, said dealerships aren't being held responsible for the highway having to be hosed down and squeegeed shortly thereafter

 

thats a nasty bike. you just have to realize that you have a 1000cc bike. respect it theres no need to act like an idiot on it at first its a fast bike you know it other people know it no need to prove it. you can easily do power ups on it but ide give it a year of gettin comfortable on it if u want to do wheelies. i was on a R1 when i was 14 and was doing wheelies and wrecked the bike.

and for the crazy part. screw sanity. i for one am a few cans short of a 6 pack. if it aint scaring the **** out of you it aint worth it

 

yup in that case you are crazy and that was a real stupid move. But its up to you how you ride and learn to ride. You have the odds against you now, learning on a 1k will slow your learning curve. Take the MSF, buy full gear, read all you can, spend ALOT of time in a parking lot practicing.

Good luck and nice bike, I hope it stays that way, but the odds say...

 

Any way to turn the power down on that bike. LEARN LEARN LEARN... It will happen to you Good luck and have your Insurance paid up with a good insurance company.

 

Guess he could try findind a restrictor kit for it. I wouldn't wanna ride a 1k that was restricted to 33hp tho.

Can't see her taking the insult too well

 

Wow, nice bike but i have to say that maybe its too much bike for you right now, learn easy and safe...

 

I bought a 250, and took the MSF course. I rode my 250 for 3 years before I felt comfortable enough to move up to a 600. You will need to take it easy, and know your limits.

 

welcome the yellow n black is killer but like everyone says take your time and wear the gear all of it all of the time i have a 99 900rr been riding on the street since 1981 my cousin has an 05 cbr1000rr and when i ride it i respect the h@#l out of it scary fast if you can take all three of msf courses but most important ride at your on pace with a 1000 youve got nothing to prove

 

semi-crazy we are all dont worry about it lol.
but for your first bike you should have gotten an older and smaller CC bike aka chill on the throttle nd not worry as much if ya drop it lol
but welcome to the forum and stay safe out there
