lol that wasnt very nice....probably true but not nice...

 

Im a pretty good driver, I dont understand what your saying? If someone was about to crash into me obviosuly im going to either brake or floor it not gonna sit there like an idiot.

BEANTOWN represent!

 

I accually say im from boston because this forum is all over america, im accually from medford, north medford accually righ down the street from you, we will have to go for a cruise sometime.

 

congrats on the bike.. be careful, the first streetbike I rode was also a cbr1000rr (not mine) and it was pretty insane. I'm also from boston. Well.. Lowell. Close enough.

 

your a good driver? or did you mean rider?

i think he may have meant if you have to use to speed to save yourself...such as your stopped at a red light and you see the car behind you not stopping and you have to haul *** to move out the way....with a 600 you will be ok for the most part, a 1k you may flip right over and its good night...but im just speculating lol

 

HUGE HUGE difference between riding and driving. If the 1000RR is you're first bike i honestly hope you have immaculate throttle control. I'm not saying it to be an *** id just hate to see anyone crash and/or die because of something stupid.

Theres about a 200% difference on flooring it on a 600 and flooring it on a 1000, i rode around on an 07 aprilia and lets just say flooring it even in 3rd will cause a nice wheelie or headshake and buh bye, the 1000RR makes even more power then that.

 

And ill be in lowell/dracut tomorrow picking up a motorcycle for a friend of mine who can't ride yet haha. But hes taking the msf tomorrow and sunday and i plan on teaching him as well.

 

Hello and welcome, sweet looking ride you may want to look into MSF course. Take a easy on her

 

Its all about how stupid the person that is riding the bike and how much throttle they give it in a certain situation, I have very good balance since I have been riding bicycles since I can remember. The bike is real fast but in 2nd gear I can manage to keep the front wheel on the ground, probably because I weight 225lbs, there arnt very many places too really get on it past 2nd gear around here, I going to have to take it to the 1/4 mile track try to get some practice on launching it and ripping threw gears. I get pretty close to the ground when leaning into corners, there is still about 3/4th of an inch of unscuffed rubber on the outside edges, which I think is pretty normal, I cant get too low around here because of the bumps and sand and crazy drivers and what not.

 

im still a noob and this is what i have left of rubber after only 5k miles.
