RE: welcome from uk..
I just recently bought a 2007 Honda1300R. when you shift from 1st to 2nd, it clunks in just like going into 1st gear, I've tried my best to shift as smooth as I know how to and sounds like I don't know how to shift, I traded in a 2005 Yamaha 1100, and it did not do this...I've asked the dealer, he thought this was normal....anybody have same experience as me....or is it just me? thanks, Bill Heister, Stillwater, OK billheister@hotmail.com

RE: welcome from uk..
Personally I don't have any first hand experience with a Honda 1300R. After test riding the HondaCBR 600RR I didn't notice any clunkyness from 1st to 2nd. It seems to me that some bikes get it, others don't. I was considering the Yammy R6, but apparently 1999 through to 2002 have this same problem. In the end I went for Honda because of the build, and because of all the praise I heard from various bikers. So far so good.
Take my old Aprilia RS125 for example, I did have a 2nd gear clunk, but it wasn't something that I was overly concerned about. If noone else has any experience, maybe take it in to your local workshop.
I also had a quick look around on the net for you, but that didn't reveal anything untoward..
