Ok i wanna start by saying great site, i have been reading posts here and there and some great information can be found right here on these forums. Secondly comes the most important, I am a current 2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R owner.
I have owned an 05 R6, an 07 GSX-R 1000, and now an 08 ZX-10R, but yesterday me and my buddy who has an 06 CBR1000RR Repsol, went through the twisties, and we switched bikes because he wanted to ride the ZX-10R so i let him and i jumped on his and we continued on.
Now the most amazing thing happened, i fell in love with the CBR. Plain and simple. I am seriously thinking about selling or trading my ZX-10 in for an 07 or 08 1000RR, now here comes the question, which one would be the best choice.
I wanted to come straight to the source for the best opinions, as a potential Honda owner. I can wheelie just fine, power and clutch ups, so none of that is an issue. I felt right at home on the 07, but is the 08 much different? Aside from looks?
I love the look of the 07 but the 08 look could grow on me after some well needed modifications. Im not a so called stunter just the occasional wheelie every now and again for fun, im more of a twistie lover, give me some corners and i can get my rocks off all day.
Now i know that i have to sit on both and ride both but sadly we all know most dealers dont let you take test rides especially on brand new bikes. So that option is out for me, i rode the 07 and loved it. There is no one around me that has an 08 CBR.
As a matter of fact i am the only person in my whole town with an 08 Bike period. So if you guys could please give me your best opinions and knowledge it could help in my decision.
Thank You, Vince.
