Got the new bike

[bones135]

Well i finally did it, traded the Duc on a 2008 cbr1000rr. Totally awesome machine & many thanks to the guys at GP Honda. Great bunch of dudes & real helpfull. As for the bike.....damn its hot, incredible handling & the power is unbelievable.
Again though...thanks heaps to the GP Honda boys, top marks.

[bones135]

Haha yea sorry mate, thats the one. Bloody ripper too

Love that colour scheme, very distinctive... which can have it's downside of course :Police:

I was looking for something as exhilarating in the twisties as the 675 but which could munch up the miles between them in a more composed manner. Seemed like the Blade was the perfect candidate.

More pics!

Seems cool so far....rode up to Whiti & back on Friday & to be honest it was by far the best ride i have ever had. It handles like nothing ive ever been on, lol

Yeah i have 06 CBR and love it, my mate has 08 and also has no complaints about it. ...by the way i recommend to sign up on www.1000RR.net
they have some awesome DIY threads and lots of helpful folk for advice etc (plus you will find out about the common 08 CBR problems to look out for...coolant hose clip recall, slipper clutch issue and the oil burning, oil leaks etc.)
Did you get some warranty with yours? If you did i would recommend to ride a shit out of it for next month or so...just in case anything crops up so you can still claim it from GP honda guys.

Alright hope to see you on some track days sometime :)
