I can't believe I just did what I did.

Funny that you should call your FZR little. I feel like the CBR is so much smaller than the FZR, I can throw it around like I never would on the FZR.

Lol, more of an affectionate term than the actual size... but you're right, test riding the CBR felt like it was a much smaller bike. Compared to the FZR, the whole front end felt really open, but then most newer bikes feel that way. I could definitely tell the weight difference right away too.

sat on a CBR600RR they had, been down, for 6500 at the local shop after Rage and I had lunch(I needed chain and cable lube)...

TINY!!!!!

Dragon, you're from MN aren't you?[/quote]


Yes, I am. I live in St. Paul. Maybe I'll see you zooming along on your new wheels.






If you ever see a black,diamond plated fizz that's me.

We'll have to hook up and ride some time, I'll tape a sheet of paper to my bike that says "FZR" and tape over the Honda.


Took some pics of the bike last night. They didn't turn out as nice as I had hoped. If I can avoid getting rained on today I might go and reshoot.

I lighten the last one up...

and... what else did I do?

[ian]

haha no stripey and no helmet. btw, what helmet is that? it kinda looks like bruce wayne's on the dark knight, which I've been trying to find the brand and model of.

[ragedigital]

What else? C'mon guys...

[ian]

oh, haha nice! a little loyalty! So what helmet is that?

[cad600]

I think he shoud do it. It would be funny to see how many people catch a yamaha sticker on a honda.

[ragedigital]

There's one more thing that's different... it's not a sticker either.

[megaloxana]

Tommy that is a sick bike. So hows the power compared to the fzr?

rage--removed the parking lines in the lot.

[ragedigital]

You guys are too tired and it's not even Friday....

The kickstand is missing.

[YAM93]

NICE BIKE Chief.



Rage, testing our mental acuity huh?
<---my mental acuity today

Funny that you would photoshop a yami sticker on the bike; when I bought it the backoffice guy must have been dragging arse; all of the paperwork said I was buying a Yamaha CBR600RR. I had to initial like 15 places where they crossed out Yamaha and wrote in Honda.

My helmet is a Scorpion EXO-700, matte black.

Power-wise, it's like night and day. The CBR redlines at 15, which is enough to get her moving 70MPH without bothering to shift into 2nd. It pulls harder across the entire engine spectrum and it does it smooth as can be. I only get 41MPG vs. 49 on the my fizz, and it wants Premium so it's more expensive to run, but definitely worth it. EDIT: low-speed cornering seems far superior to the FZR. I never felt quite at ease pulling a tight u-turn on the fizz, but the CBR doesn't going slow at all.

And rage just took the kickstand back out of the pic. I put one in because I didn't want to make anyone jealous. Didn't you guys know that Hondas balance themselves?
