Default Just Bought a 2007 CBR

Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a 2007 Blue/Silver CBR 600RR and absolutely love it. She was already customized by the dealership when I brought her home. They painted the lower fairing to match, installed flush mounted turn signals and a Scorpion exhaust system. I have been riding for almost 10 years and have been through a number of bikes in that time. I currently have a 2006 VFR and a 1990 GB500 as well as the CBR. I started on cruisers, had a 2003 Gold Wing, a dirt bike and finally settled on the VFR. Last July my husband and I rode from Tampa, FL to Monterrey, CA and back for our vacation. We covered 7,000 miles in 18 days to attend the Moto GP races at Laguna Seca.

We are huge motorcycle enthursiasts and now have 5 bikes between us. He has a 2000 Superhawk and a 2007 ST1300 for his distance bike. We are volunteers for Honda and will be working the HRCA area at Bike Week for the entire event, as well as volunteers at the Honda Hoot.

I am a personal trainer who retired from the Air Force in 1998. So now I get to train women and get in my workouts while at work. So ladies, if you have fitness questions, let me know.

I look forward to "meeting" everyone and picking your brains for information on this wonderful bike.

Nice bike and welcome to the site, the GB500 is an oddball, I like it, it looks like a real motorcycle, one that you should be wearing a leather bomber jacket to ride.

I've had the GB500 for around 5 years and she never fails to get noticed. Some people have heard of them and never seen one and other's haven't seen one in years. They are now becoming quite the collector's item because of the way comeback that "retro" bikes are making. Here is a photo of my GB500

Acara 1796,
Thanks for the comments. When we are at the Hoot, wedon't knowuntil the night before whatour assignments are, so look for Becky from Valrico, FL. If this is your firstHoot, you have picked a great year to go since this is the 15th Anniversary. You can also PM me if you have questions about anything regarding the Hoot. I would love to be of assistance.

Becky

Engz1959,
I will be working in the HRCA tent area during Bike Week, so stop by and say hello. Unfortunately I won't have the CBR there, but will be on the VFR. Look for a Pearl White with white powder coated wheels in the HRCA parking area. Have a safe trip and enjoy Bike Week.
