Hey everybody....my name is Mike. Im new to the forums and newly back to the world of motorcycles. Its been a while since Ive been on a bike....but this past Friday I picked up a 2012 CBR1000RR. Delivered today and I was able to putt around the neighborhood and its amazing how fast it all comes back to you. So....Im looking forward to my new friend and hope she treats me well as Ill do the same to her.

Hi Mike and welcome to the forum! That's one helluva bike to get back on the black! Tell us a bit more, how long you've been riding, what bikes have you owned, are you planning to do mods on your new luv etc. And post some pics! We're all suckers for some nice bike pics! Load em up to photobucket, picasa etc and link from there.

Have fun and keep it between the lines! :icon_beerchug:

hi and welcome mike, to the forum and back on 2 wheels :icon_toast:,
lovley bike the 1000rr, get some pictures up when you can (you can use photobucket), take it easy and stay safe :)

Thanks guys! Ill get some pics up really soon.

Started riding when I was 10. First bike was a Yamaha RT 180. I rode the wheels of of that thing to say the least. From there moved to a Katana 600 then a Ninja6R then onto a GSXR 750.

When I was a kid I always wanted a Honda Hurricane. Well im fortunate enough to ave been blessed with a great life so now I am getting back in the saddle. Took it out for the first time yesterday and my god......how did I go so many years without one???!?!

Funny thing about liter bikes is.....ya they will go 0-60 in 2.8 seconds......they can also do 0-60 in 5 minutes. All depends on how much you crack that wrist!

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

How long must I be a member before the Mods will let me post without review? Or is that just how this site is?

I like to proofread after posting then I go back and edit as necessary!

Just a little while, shouldn`t take too long, it`s just to weed out any spammers, and ppl who come, ask a q or 2 and disappear just as fast... Be patient, stick around and one of the "big guys" will soon enough come and lift the rope for ya!

Awesome...thanks for the answer.

Ill get some pics up this evening for sure!

Welcome to CBRF... The CBR1000rr is a monster bike... Not for the timid... Great bike to own and ride... Enjoy that bike...


Photobucket is the best way to post pics... Easy to post and looks better on the threads...

Welcome! Can't wait for pics, sounds like a fun bike. Even though it's an RR check out the Hurricane section - lot's of us 'cane riders on this forum!

Welcome to CBRF, Mike! I'm glad you're enjoying the 1kRR. Post some pictures of that bad boy
