[hockie69]

thanks.....so what is legal that is avail huh?

 

just realise still have lot of staff to source out...like tank hugger,slider,pc3,steer damper.

actually right, this bike's handling is so sweet that i dun want to install steering damper. for normal to moderately agrressive road riding that i do on local roads, i have never felt a tank slap, or even felt like one was about or could have happened. thats not to say it never 'shake head', the bars do momentarily wag but only on those rare moments of hitiing significantly large pebbles or e-braking on wet white paint; and even then, its such a short quick wag, "left-then-right-then-its-over" kind of wag that by the time panic kicks in (if any) the bike has already stabilised. i think the cbr600rr doesn really have an urgent need for a steering damper.

 

and i'm really in love with this bike's handling; its so light and nimble on the move, yet feels so planted and confident in the corners. the damper is bound to make the steering heavier. mebbe across the causeway the bike wont be able to handle the road conditions or something. but i strongly suggest u ride the bike for a few months then decide about the damper instead of placing it in the "immediate installation" list.

hm... steering damper a gd choice if u are those that goes high speed alot

cos it prevent tank slap

but i think can save it get a pc3 first rather then getting a steering damper

steering damper ain't cheap then sg road can't speed much also

one brand new steering damper will cost abt $750

my experience tank slap once lucky that time manage to save it back

scary~

welcome u

so when u collecting ur bike?

[hockie69]

eeerrrrr.....black color hor.is nice to look but while on de road.car driver "cant" really SEE u.

 

actually...i always like red....been "red" for a while liao....so pick back red.my ex-CB13 was red too.

 

according to boonsiew...mine was de 5th Red RR5 they sold.....so more "rare" ?

 

can collect in 1 week time...but due to oversea trip...maybe late-jan or early feb then collect lor.while mean time "self-posion" on the add-on items 1st.

[AlvZz]

ya red is indeed rare

u can see here 2

much more black sliver

sooner or later u will even see more due to the 06 model

then the most most rare will be the

06 orange 1 i think

 

[Sesshou]

letting go my street legal titanium GPR exhaust ....$300 only

u tankslapped ur cbr6? lock to lock? wow wat happened?

[hockie69]

the 06 orange is nice(but.......abit too loud liao)

 

i like the 06 Red w Black wing design

 

but cant convince myself to spend 1K extra for a "model year" change but NOTHING really changed except outlook bike.

 

since the current "RR6" is also mfg 05.really dun "see" the point of it.

 

i rather keep the 1k & spend on PC3,slider,hugger,tank bra.

 

*actualy,last time master advise to go Red.so stick to it.

[hockie69]

if u notice i trying to update everything on the first page

anything u can get me through here or msn

all on the first page of this

hehee if u got any update can tell me also

 

yes,the front page is de 1st i read up on.

 

dun think i had much to update on de RR......still need "learn de rope" from u guys.

 

unless u guys want to learn "how to bring up a kid w/o busting ur wallet".

Hi hockie69.

 

 

Since you bring out this matter.

I also want to learn leh.

Must pay deposit or any fees ?

 

 

 

Got EXTRA baby bonus.................

Heheheheh yahooooooooooo

[hockie69]

thanks for the welcome.

 

finally decided to get de RR5....which is NOT the fastest or has most BHP or most advance techonolgy....infact still using superfour master brake? lolz... but it ok....it a honda,i perfer durability then extreme machine...my ex-hondaz had yet to fail me & i dun expect the New RR5 to start it.

 

the carbon RS5 just look so nice on de RR4/5/6.....

 

so whats the "street legal" verison of yoshi avail ? GPR abit RAW ....IMHO ( no offends...hikaru)

 

no fee needed to learn the "art of no wallet".....lolz

 

cos IF there is no "wallet" in the 1st plc..how to blust it? lolz

 

$$ come in....str go into kidz spending/saving/food/etc....

do u mean tank bra or hugger below ur tailboard to protect ur shock??

 

tank bra u can get from motoworld, ard $165, get e bag as well, gd for touring as there a plastic cover over ur fuel tank, no magnetic effect.

 

Hugger, biketech21 or motoworld.. not cheap.. >$150, superbike has 1

 

as for sliders, alot of places sell them, ask mechwira for recommendation, his is nicely cut and not too expensive, rem not to buy sliders tat is too short for ur bike. so far, i think motovation fits well. Been down with it before, save mi some $$ on repair

 

Actually depend on ur need, i find that getting e GPR exhaust from Hikaru is a good deal.. $300 for a slip-on.. nice sound(poser value +1) alternatively, there are micron twin outlet, yoshi, arrow, laser(havent seen 1 on cbr600rr yet). Few months back, heard Leo Vinci & akrapovic coming up with legal slip-on, wonder is it out

 

If u are heading down to track, damper is a plus

 

Enjoy ur ride

[hockie69]

just to find out........( no pun intented hor)

 

the number of RR4/RR5 rider were much lessier then Gixxr600 or R6 in this forum?

 

trend i notice were....ppl would upgrade from 400 to 1L bike str.style? ego? power? or just want to feel special having de "almost king on de road"-beside the real KING- TP/ROV.

 

but missing the fun on 600(new to me too)/750 class.

 

i mean...1L bike has all de pwr...but actual usage were rare(IMHO).most of time...the 1L bike is in "cruise mode" & it aint FUN to handle the breast when it roar.

 

anyway,seems like there are more ppl buying Gixxr/R6 then CBR.

 

again....thats fine with me...."a person's meats may be another person's posion".

 

*if this tropic is sensitive...just edit/delete according.(i aint here to start a war. )

i will go for a 600 sportsbike anytime than a litre sportsbike

 

i think 1 of e many reasons why majority choose gixer is bcos of e cheaper insurance

 

Honda 6RR machince price cost more than R6 n gixer6, kawa kills on insurance

 

no offence to any1

 

PS : those mention above base 5 months ago

thanks for the advise/direction.

 

i guess i mix-up the terms used.(remind myself..i not young liao) lolz

 

it the tank bra thats i'm looking for.need to protect the tank paintwork from my APB's belly....lolz

 

for slider,it seems like motovation product were the more pop choice here.(i may just follow too. )

 

eeerrrr....i'm a poser( ) but i just find the GPR "look" too fierce & may just warrant for unwanted attention.

 

track? i may go & look see(but no balls to DO it) ..i track mostly in cars(yeah...im a sessy.. ) water boy or support role....i dun mind.

 

btw,which shop can i go if i'm interested in "street legal" micron/akrapovic(if any) exhuast for de RR5?

 

thanks

i believe so too.....about the "honda=ex on machine".

 

i like de Gixxr too....i own/ride de "old" Gixxr M/N/P verison.

 

but my "logic" abt Gixxr is : the pwr can chunk out pwr...but in long term usage...the engine parts will degrade faster & it aint fun to rebuild the engine(of course most may pick the easy way out-sell bike lor) no offends to any.just IMHO nia.

 

for my case....i intent to keep de "choice of 600" for 3~4yrs(if really cant ride then convert to weekend-bike lor)

 

so my pick......Honda.

my own observation on trends is that R6 is the most common 600cc sports on the roads because prior to the latest revoultion of 600 sports, it was the nicest looking hands-down. back then alternatives were the CBR600F and the old ZXR-636, neither of which looked as good nor performed (by reputation and image i mean) as good as the R6. the GSX-R600K1 of the time probably performed as well if not better (again i mean by reputation and image), but i guess people preferred the fiercer looking R6.

 

but today i'm seeing a lot more CBR600RR, probably as much as R6. now that all 4 jap 600s look very good and perform very well, its anybody's guess how the trend will continue.

 

trend i notice were....ppl would upgrade from 400 to 1L bike str.style? ego? power? or just want to feel special having de "almost king on de road"-beside the real KING- TP/ROV.

i mean...1L bike has all de pwr...but actual usage were rare(IMHO).most of time...the 1L bike is in "cruise mode" & it aint FUN to handle the breast when it roar.

 

i upgrade from 2b bike straight to my 600

 

to be honest, now that i'm comfortable with my 6, i'm wishing for more torque at the lower end of the rpm. i think you'll feel it very acutely too since u've been riding a much bigger bike. i think thats why a 1L bke is more shiok; both 1L and 600cc, their power at the mid to higher end of rpm very rarely used, but the extra power and torque the 1L offers at the lower range is very welcome and definitely usable on the road.

 

u'll see wat i mean once u get comfy on ur new cbr6. below 7k rpm the bike u can call 'gentle' or can be honest and call it 'breathless' and 'no power'. bring the needle past 9k rpm and suddenly it turns into a completely different animal. it totally rocks, its the magic zone of the bike. it gives great torque, 100kmh in 1st gear and 100kmh in 6th gear its like u riding 2 diff bikes. but i very rarely get to use it coz in 1st gear 10k rpm the bike already hits 100kmh; how to ride that magic zone on local road. quite sad when i think about it.

 

but i think 1L the magic zone starts much earlier in the rpm range, and exists even at lower speeds. thats why more fun.

[honam24]

hi all, juz some question ... i wonder compare k5 600 and cbr 600, in term of handling i think honda is the best.. but how about pick up and horse power...... overall which i better...
