Hey beary!! yo in new here... so izzit recommended to get dis bike for a class2? easy to maintain? speed? pick up speed? mileage? thanx bro

[beary]

Hi bro!

 

It pretty much depends on what type of ride you are used to...i've been riding for the last 13 years on different types of bike...different classes, different weight, etc...

 

i find the CR is quite easy to handle, in terms of weight, power, speed, handling, etc...

 

maintenance, more or less same as a 400cc bike...3.8L engine oil, 4 spark plugs, oil filter...usual servicing will cost u about $120 on fully syn..other expenses will be the tires, chain..so on, more of a once in a while kindda thing...

 

speed? pick-up? if u're into these, i strongly suggest u get a sportsbike instead....

 

CR is more of a semi-Adventure/Road Touring machine..comfortable cruising speed about 150-160km/h...

 

i'm getting about 17.6km/L from full-tank to reserve coming on...

 

personally, i favour the CR due to several reasons;

1. good seat-height for me (short legs) over the hardcore ADV like GS, XT, Vara

2. more comfortable riding posture over the sportstourer

3. manageable weight for off-bike or on-bike pushing over the tourers

4. get to live longer without the "sucidal speed" of supersports

 

hahaha!! hope i answer some of ur questions...

 

i had been on the ST11, R1, CBR1100XX..(although Blackbird still my most loved)

Good Review and Feedback...

[Taufizcorner]

Wow!!! Bro thanx for dat review.. Aniwae does CR use up much oil? Full

Tank how many litters?actually im more to comfort riding than speed. Wow! Getting pump up wif this bike!! Thanx beary !!

[beary]

bro..use up oil = engine oil?

 

CR not oil cool...not 2-stroke...so the oil more or less dun disappear without any reason...engine oil capacity is 3.8L..

 

Full tank is 21.5L...reserves 4L..i.e. 17.5L, the reserves will comes on...which for me, means travelling about 300km..

 

so far...i did tried going about 350km++ den happily cruise into Esso..and pumped 20L of petrol...

 

BUT...if u are heavy on the throttle..frequent VTEC user..u'll definately use up more petrol...

 

the VTEC is a big petrol guzzler...i'm quite a light throttle guy, changing gear around 2.5k-3k rpm..

 

so again..will depends on how aggressively u are with the throttle..

bro Firedragon, just got my H&B side pannier racks installed the last weekend...

 

In case you are installing your side racks, remember the other time I was telling you the signal lights need to be repositioned due to the length, and the new position looks really ugly with the wires shown outside...?

 

I tot i could live with it..but i ended up going sleepless for 1 nite and got it changed to a shorter LED indicator lights instead...looks better and neater too...

 

so, if u're stalling the side racks, best to go prepared with the new indicators so there won't be double job done on the lights and wiring...

Hi Beary, saw your bike at MSCP when im fixing rubber shift sleeve for a fellow Vara bro. Your bike look good... So can you camo my Fatgerl? hehehe

[snowparang]

VFR800 non VTEC rider here. I assume this is using the newer engine with the VTEC? Chain driven cams??

 

Was a bit surprised at the weight of 240 kg, thought it should be lighter.

[beary]

CR is using the last generation VFR800 engine with Vtec...1 gen newer then your VFR..

 

The one you mention...should be Crosstourer..using the 1200cc engine

 

weight..surprising, it is lighter than the claimed 240kg...but still, provided some stability though...

 

 

Freakyairhead: yeah..saw your fren's Vara as well...haha! the camo thingy..DIY-ed...gotta ask if my fren got time to cut the stickers or not..cos its more of his free time hobby....
