Default 2008 AMA American Honda CBR1000RR

Just wanted to share this pic of Miguel's bike. Not a huge fan of it in street trim, but race spec is awesome.

Notice the tank covers are different on the AMA bikes? Bigger airbox or just a larger tank you think?

I love every thing about it, except burning oil.

I'm finally starting to get comfortable on the bike at the track. just working out a few bugs.

Mine has yet to burn any oil

Maybe a lot of the issues relate to break in ?? I dunno but most of the issues seem to be with people that hammered it from day 1. I did my own style of break in similar to my old race car engines and it seems to be golden. Hell if it could get a good seal on forged pistons and ge sleeves it must work good.

lol we can go for days about break in

i definitely need to go ride one though and see how they handle

i hear the handling is very sharp like the r6 "with a motor that never quits"

Mine without a doubt handles better stock than my 04 zx6r did before I sold it with lots of work.

it does not handle like an new r6 or 600rr but it does handle better then any 1000 i've been on.

the flick ability of a r6 or 600rr is awesome. but the power of a 1000..... well that's pretty damn awesome too.
