Default First ride on the '07 CBR600RR...

just got back from the international press intro at Barber Motorsports Park, and I have to say that this is an EXTREMELY impressive bike. HUGE step forward from the '06, and I really liked that bike as well. More info coming in a few days, here's a few teaser pics (photos by Kevin Wing):





yeah that's me....

Wow! I had no idea we had a motojourno in our midst. That's terrific - how'd you manage to get where you are?

Anyways, can't wait to read the review!

DAMN that bike looks awesome in action !
In your opinion, how is the '07 better?
We are anxiously awaiting to get the delivery date for the new RR's at the dealership. We still have two '06 1000RR's and an '06 600RR if anyone is interested in making a deal PM me

Nice pics

Friend of mine works at a local honda shop and knows a honda rep from track days and the store, supposedly my friend is going to be the first one to have one in PA. Soon as it comes off the truck it gets torn apart, put on the dyno and waits for the sharkskinz to be ready

of course, favorite helmet of all time. too bad it's out of production. if anyone knows anybody selling a good condition X-Eleven Kato Replica, either the colors I'm wearing in the photo or the commemorative edition (which is light blue instead of red), in size MEDIUM, let me know, I'll buy it. mine is getting a little run down and needs to be retired. I have a custom X-Eleven getting done but I still love the Kato paint scheme.

Part Two of the 'First Ride' article should be up tomorrow afternoon (Pacific Time). Also headed back to Barber soon to ride the new ZX-6R so that should be interesting for comparison...

Your riding form sucks.

I don't really think so... I just wanted to be different from everyone else in the thread.
