Default Hello everyone

Just thought I would stop in & say hello.

I dont have a CBR yet but very soon a black 2007 1000RR should have a new home in my garage.

Thanks toa [sm=alcoholic.gif] in Jeep Cherokee my 2003 Kawasaki Z1000 was written off after he rear ended me doing 50mph while I sat at a red light.

I was looking at getting eithera Busa, ZX-14, new shape Z1000, 1000RR orZX-10 & the 07 1000RR is at the top of that list.

If anyone has one feel free to let me know what they are like, good points / bad points etc


I'm in WestervilleOhio & am also a member of ohio-riders.net also under MrBret

My wife also rides & currently has an 07 Ninja 250 but would like to get either an 01-03 F4i or a newer R6s.


Well, enough rambling chit chat for now.

07 1000RR definately.......

only major issue as with any honda it seems is the charging system.

tighten the front forks all the way down or revalve/replace eventually..they are kinda mushing if you are aggressive.

the list of mods is only as limited as your sense or pocket book(personally I have no sense whatsoever)

other than that...hold on tight

*welcome hug*

Thanks everyone.

As for England. I used to live in East Sussex (just South East of London) in a place called Bexhill-on-sea. Born and raised there till I was 25, thats when I came over here.

Welcome to the forum.
I recognized your name and the link to ohio-riders.
I signed up there, but mostly hang out here over here and goof off with these guys (and gals).

btw I am in Columbus.

Congrats on the new 1000RR
Post pics when you bring her home.
