Woopa!! Cbr1000rr Riders

[V12Merlin]

The CBR1000RR8's widest part got to be on the fairing where the engine is, so don't expect it to be any slimmer cross section to the CBR600RR7.

 

The seating position is as follows:

 

1. Narrower around the thigh, but seating is higher off the ground

2. Handle bar feels nearer

3. Footrest is higher

4. Overall feel when sitting is more race-like and compact, making all previous Blades feels like a street machine.

 

When lifting up the new 2008 Blade from its side stand, weight feels like about the same but very compact center mass.

 

Cable operated clutch is very light action, very good if you are a trackie addict. or when you are caught in a traffic jam.

 

Is Little Red Riding Hood going to be the 1st to put one on the Road, like on all previous CBR1000RRs, 2004, 2006.

Thanks, that's good info. If ALL units are affected, I guess SG will have recall as well.

With so many small parts making up a huge and complex machine, we would be delusional to think there is no fault with any bikes.

 

I guess with tougher regulations, manufacturers are owning up even more so now compared to the past. There could be many reasons, but this is just one way of looking at it.

Just got back from KL this morning, nearly witness an accident right before my eyes, an Optimus Prime type trailer swerved to the right to overtake another vehicle without signaling, a Honda City was on that right lane behind the trailer, the driver had to jam brake, but he couldn't stop in time so he swerved to the left shoulder to avoid hitting the trailer, but then he swerved back to the right to avoid running off the left shoulder, and for awhile, if I may, it was experiencing a car's version of tankslapping, doing a series of left and right violent turns, almost to the point of flipping over everytime it turned abruptly.

 

Luckily the drive was able to recover and he stopped at the road shoulder to take a breather. That was at Pagoh this morning.

 

I caught up to the trailer and scolded Optimus Prime by giving the inverted Snake in Eagle's Shadow palm.

 

But when I saw the driver of the trailer, he is just a clueless frail old man, anger subsided just as soon as it erupted.

 

We just have to be alert and look after ourselves on the road.

It's a pity that Honda lost WSB champion James Toseland to Tech 3 Yamaha, I would certainly like to see him riding a RC212V next year, maybe replacing Nicky Hayden, heh.
