Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

so the other bikes have 8 or so more horsepower and aren't as fragile as the r1. we get it. if i had my choice i'd get the r1 for commuting and the kawi for whoolies and railing backroads.

whats wrong with the 08 R1??? its not like the 07 where it had some **** wrong with the throttle in second gear. and i really like the color of it the red/white one.

plus it still maintained the same body as previous years almost didnt really change much except for tail section and headlights a lil bit..

iono i really like it.. i havent rode a 08 but i did a 06 and i loved it

Its petty the actual stats on the top jap 4 bikes! ALL of them are within a tenth or hundreth of a second in the quarter mile, roll ons and so on. One review from a pommy mag was so stupid. They all posted their quickest lap times on the zx 10 but put it down the ladder cos It was **** for riding round ****** london. I really like that blue kwakka.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

There is nothing wrong with the 08 suzuki. One of the fastest in a straight line, Looks awesome in all black or white and silver, handles awesome, wheelie's nice for a liter bike, one of the few bikes left that actualy really looks like a full faired bike, no stupid front blinkers. The only really stupid thing is dual exhaust's but who keeps that anyway's.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

I saw a yellow and black cbr today and its full blown fucked. Had no appeal, nothing. Strangely enuff an hour l8r a black 08 r1 and gixxa 1000 were going for broke on the highway and that turns heads.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

I said Honda. I looked at one in person for the first time yesterday. The stubby/pointy tail I don't care for, but I'd rock one(and I don't mean *****-foot around).

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

i am a honda person until the end, but that new 1000rr is ugly! im sure its a great bike to ride, and you know it is backed by the honda quality, but i cant help but shake my head every time i look at it! the r1 may be fragile, and lacking the quality of the honda, but it looks 100 x better!!!!

I'd take that bet, My buddy has one that's stock and we both trapped 143 at 5300 ft above sea level, both stock bikes.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

A lot of the color schemes are weird on the cbr but I liked blacked out like this one. These bikes don't picture well but they look sick in real life and even more so when it has a rider.

no doubt it looks better in black. id almost dare say it looks.....good in black. and it really does look better with a rider on it.

No anti to you at all but the R1 isn't fragile at all. An old wheelie buddy of mine had an 04 R1 which did more wheelies than miles on it and it had 30000 miles on it. Didn't hear about fork seals going on it (but I'm sure he changed them) and his steering head bearings only got replaced after he had a head on with a car! Never topped the oil to the sight glass either? One thing for sure about the 08 honda is how **** the fork seals are on those full stop. Either than that the only thing bar wheelies you'd be pullin or poppin on that bike are homosexual mick doohan fans cos Its so ugly.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

i cant believe the 2009 R6s model still looks the same.. not much has changed.. which is kinda cool. 929's and 954's should of been kept around
