New Bike Ordered.

[inlinefour]

Went for a ride with the Naki crew, including a few KBers, they know who they are. Was the slowest rider there I think and by the time I arrived back in New Plymouth I was having thoughts of harming my bike. I was totally peeved with its lack of preformance and the fact that I had to totally ring its neck to keep up. Over the next two days the thoughts got worse, I was totally unhappy with the way the bike handled and the fact that it would give me all it had, but it was not enough. Oh well, I think I've out grown the CB400, better think about getting rid of it before I kill it (have done it to other bikes "I've out grown"). So unless I find someone who could do with the CB400, it'll be traded in on the new bike. Oh and for all those wondering. I've tried out all the brands but my instincts was right. I'm buying another Honda. That and the price has just dropped to a very reasonable price. I'm just waiting for the available colours so that I might make my choice. There is a blue one that I don't like. Below are the ones I do like. The first being the one I like the most and the last being the one I like the least. What do you all think, or am I just going to be bagged for buying another Honda? :weird:

[gav]

The first one, but not sure if that colour is available here. Buying new or S/H? Some cheap CBR1000RR's on Trade Me, you'd pick up one for the same price if not cheaper than a new 600.
Like this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports-tourer/auction-34157400.htm
or this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports-tourer/auction-34004023.htm
or this here 600 http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction_detail.asp?id=34590049&permanent=

I don't actually want a 1 litre bike at all, thats why I've choosen the 600. :woohoo: Plus I want a new one, not a broken or fixed one, I can do that myself, maybe...

[cowpoos]

if you wanna keep up with the naki boys I have the perfect solution...not to much power...huge mid range...handles like a 600...if not better in its current guise...and alot cheaper...never been broken down... http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=16050

I'm sure you'll agree :sherlock:

[SPman]

Go for what you want - a new black 600 is a sexy beast.
Buy one and enjoy...

[Storm]

Its your money mate, you are the one who has to ride it. Buy whatever you like, Honda or no. Hope you get the right bike for you :ride:

[SixPackBack]

Good on you inline, bet your like a dog with two dicks at the mo'......good choice!

[White trash]

Hey Inline, I thought after all my Gixxer chattering you woulda seen the light by now?! What the hell's the story?

Good choice mate, you'll be as happy as a pig in shit when it arrives.

[SPORK]

Yuss! Go for it! (drool)

I also agree with your colour ranking, that new red/blue one looks a bit suspect...

[inlinefour]

Going for the one that I really want... :woohoo:

[Joni]

As mentioned yesterday.... big congratulations! Im sure you cant wait :ride:

[Racey Rider]

If you ever need someone to clean that new bike for you Mr,, I offer free pick up and delivery back to your garge! Won't be a copwep left on it after my cleaning technique.

Enjoy (Don't try and "keep up" on your first outing!).

[inlinefour]

As mentioned yesterday.... big congratulations! Im sure you cant wait :ride:

Will have to get into the taking it easy mode on the 400 so that I'm ready to run the 600 in. Wonder which way I should go for the run in ride? :ride:

[Jonty]

Good on you, nice bike :Punk: . It would be good if the first one was available here!! Just out of interest, did you try the 636, isn't it about 1K cheaper?

When does it arrive?

[erik]

I'm jelous.
A couple of people have said I've outgrown my Zeal. I'd love to get a bigger bike, but it's going to be a while yet before I can, due to still being on my restricted and not having the cash.
I reckon those honda bikes certainly got it right in the looks department.

Have tried the 636, R6, GSXR 600 & 750. The 636 was the second choice and the price is pretty much equal now. However I'm not buying a bike because of the price, might as well get what I want ahe. :devil2:
Erik, it took along time. There was a time, I hate to admit it, when I rode a GN250 (I killed it in the end on a motorcross track). Was a good day when it was replaced with a RZ350LC. However now that the Ba & educational shyte is done and I earn good bling, I'm going in for what I really want. Make a life plan Erik, you'll get there mate. I thought when I started my Ba that I'd get a nice cage, glad I over came that friggin stoopid idea... :rofl: Oh and I started green bling for all the kind words, but it told me VERY quick that I'd handed out too much :nono:

[Sniper]

Well done inlinefour. And have a blast on your new bike mate.

[DemonWolf]

Good stuff inlinefour... =)

[Smorg]

You'll never hear a bad word from me about buying a CBR for obvious reason's good stuff mate hope you enjoy it :ride:

[vifferman]

Good choice, dude! And the black one is the same as the one I test-rode recently (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=10889) - I see it quite frequently and it's one sexy-looking bike! :niceone:

[Damon]

That thing is sex on wheels, very nice choice. :2thumbsup

[Matt Bleck]

The black one with the tribal flames.

Can you get me one too?

[bugjuice]

second the flames.. think they look quite nice.. just don't drop it, or it'll be hell to fix up!

[zadok]

Can't go wrong with a Honda. Nice choice. I like the first two better as well, but the second in particular.
The Triumph Daytona 650 would be my only other choice in tha class. Not sure how the price compares there tho.

[pritch]

Oh well, I think I've out grown the CB400, better think about getting rid of it before I kill it

Go fer it! I'll look forward to seeing you out and about on the new one (if you got yourself on the Energy mailing list).

Like the magazines say, "If you plan on keeping it a few years you'd better buy a Honda..."

[mstriumph]

niiiiiiiiiiice looking bike - and the black one is mega-sexy!!

[inlinefour]

It looks like I've got a KBer thats keen on the CB400 to. Things are looking good :woohoo:

[SPORK]

Yea, not a problem taking pictures of it and all that jazz :ride:

[inlinefour]

thats its probably going to be about two weeks before any details will be known about the CBR. So I'll patiently wait and continue riding like a nanna in anticipation of running in a new bike. Looks like the weather is going to stay nice for the weekend? (touch wood) Whos riding and where to?

[Coyote]

Very good choice, also agree with the colour preferences. What price are they now? Are they still $16500?

[inlinefour]

Try $15995. :woohoo:

[motobob]

Hey Inline I have to get a new one too but thought the Tribal Black one was only avaible in the US. Let us know if its available in NZ please. My current one is the blue red silver and road rash colour. They are a bloody good M/C and you sure have to hammer that gearbox to live with those Thou's (an some you just can't without bigger cods). :Punk:
See if you can get a steering damper thrown in especially if you use track tyres on the road. :devil2:

[Coyote]

Try $15995. :woohoo:
skoorr, just wish I had that money though

[Scorpygirl]

Good on you mate!!! Onward and upward from here!! :woohoo: :ride:

[willy_01]

hey guys just a question about this ride on sunday is it open to any one?? im a 250cc rider so im not sure if you 1000cc guys will be able to keep up (hang on, this could be a bit backwards). Any way if the weather was like it was today im keen for a ride especially now ive got the pig up and running again :Punk:
If this is more an ride/race im out as the poor old rg just cant handle a raping from me (less cause im fast more cause im fat) :corn:

Provided that I'm able to keep up a bit better. I know the roads up to Awakino George and back, might be a bit easier to keep up with the slower riders while I'm on the CB. :hbd:

[Bonez]

HAVE YOU SHOPPED AROUND , YOU CAN GET A GOOD BIKE FOR THAT MUCH MONEYYou can get 15 good bikes for that money. It's all

I've said it once, Ive said it 32 times here - I luuurrrve the RR. Mine had the same colour scheme as the one in the middle of the images you posted.

Such a great machine - great handling, performance, plenty of Hondawidgets. Shit I miss it.

Did I mention I lurrrve the RR?

I'm assuming that its the reason why the 2005 line has dropped in price. Wanting to get rid of whats left and get ready for the 2006 line up of bikes. :chase:

Its a Shoei XR1000G, the new 2006 style with graphics. Quite possibly the most comfortable helmet I've owned thus far. Although the real test will be at speed. Bike should be here next week.

Damn, I want a new bike :crybaby:Bought a new bike 19 years ago, still have it. I now prefer old bikes. Devaluation/depreciation and all that. Still waiting for that mid-life crisis thing to kick in though :crybaby:

A sensible man.

There is one THC sticker left, the KB one, and an Icon one on the the instrument cluster to hide the small "modification".

Bet you're difficult to live with. Bet you don't sleep anymore either. Like a 5 year old a week out from "1st bike Christmas". :)

Turns out I have been experiencing bad hay fever, as I thought I was experiencing some exotic bug that I was having trouble getting rid of. Had a anti-histamine pill and with in half an hour. Slept like a baby and did not want to get up this morning. Although I could imagine that a "sickie" will folllow the arrivial of the new bike :devil2:

[soundbeltfarm]

when does the new bike arrive

[inlinefour]

when does the new bike arrive

Probably Friday the 7th, but it could be the following Monday. Depending on how quickly the bike shop gets it from off the boat. The Ship is due in on the 3rd. Scooterboy should have his GPx600f ready, so I might see if I can go for a test pilot. :devil2:

Lucky Sod... Sexy Black and Silver; that's the colour I wanted but they're all sold out over here. I had to settle with choice NO#3 - should match my riding gear quite well though.

Oh yeah, picking mine up tonight ~ still at odds on how to run it in SOFT or HARD.

Seems the only changes for '06 are colours!
The 2006 Honda CBR600RR and CBR600F have both been revealed for the first time, with new colour schemes for both bikes.

The CBR600RR, designed to echo the Honda MotoGP race bike, gets three new paintschemes. The most unusual of these is the 'Pearl Fire Orange, with Graphite Black and Digital Silver Metallic'. This is joined by an Italian Red option, or the more stealthy Graphite Black.

Underneath, the bike remains the same as in 2005, with a die-cast frame, full adjustable suspension, and radial-mounted front brakes.

The CBR600F continues in the same vein, with the choice of Digital Silver Metallic, or Italian Red paintschemes for 2006. It retains the twin-spar aluminium frame and 599cc fuel-injected motor of the 2005 model. It also has fully-adjustable suspension .

[SPORK]

Go CBR600RR, according to my copy of Superbike Magazine, it's the best overall 600 supersport. So good buy!

i'm reading different...
maybe bad press (http://motorcycles.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2004/Nov/041123i.htm)

i'm laying the seeds at the moment with my better half, for a new RR, come december i may be able to sow the seeds.. heres to ground work.

enjoy the bike when she arrives

[gav]

ummm, interesting article on the '05 model mate, but these are already in the shops etc, I'm talking about the '06 model, new model for next year :spudwave:

[boomer]

my bad... sorry bro :(

As your quote says "I'll be leaving now"

[gav]

:niceone: No worries mate, hope ya get your RR!!

[inlinefour]

Those colours are what was on offer in America on the 2005 model. I was told that I could have the "tatoo" version but it was not my first option and they got my first option :niceone: Boomer, good luck with talking she who must be obeyed into the purchase of the bike :devil2:
I was rather lucky, I came back from a pie n' pint ride fuming as I could not keep up with the pack without ringing the shit out of my last bike. The misses could see that I was not happy when I got home. After telling her what I was feeling, she said that we had better go and get me a new bike! :done: Did not know that there was this type of female available after all my previous experiences with them :argh:
One thing that puzzles me though. I've looked at the pictures of the 2005 model and compared it to the pictures of the 2006 model, and I can't really see much difference between the two. I have been told that the 2007 model will have some pretty bif technological advances though. :psst:

[inlinefour]

Went for my first ride, only a small one mind you. Had to see the naki butcher that helped me stay afoat while a student with a much need job. Had to get out of town because it was just wanting to go too fast. Out of town, it still had that problem. Mind you, I ain't complaining, am I? Found myself sticking my knees out without much thought, but was not really leaning the bike over enough to make much of a difference. I actually found it harder not to bring my feet up a bit a to stick my knee out. Unusual as I've not needed to do that for a long long time. Maybe this bike will help me refind my riding mojo that was knocked out of me when a car did a U-turn in front of me on a older bike and put me in hospital? Dunno, but it would be nice to think so. Have to do 1000km to run it in. Have the weekend off so all I need is some good weather and I'm off. :D I'm happier than a pig in shit and are , opps just had to go away again and do another 50 km ride. Have taken a pic or two, will try to post at least one. :banana:

I'm buying another Honda. What do you all think, or am I just going to be bagged for buying another Honda?

A REAL MAN !

Come join the CBR600RR real man's club :headbang: :niceone:

My advice is to install a aftermarket Can, cos the factory one sounds like a sewing machine. Hope you have a soft bum, cos the seat on the CBR is not the most comfortable.

[Dazza]

She'll be run-in by next pie'n'pint me thinks (just take it easy) .I'll have to introduce myself then, I'm the fat bastard on the noisey Duke (Super that is). :niceone:

Some of us are actually quite happy with the size of our genitalia amd don't feel the need to have to over compensate in other areas to make up for inadequacies elsewhere. I checked with my better half and she agrees with me that my preformance in that area is no though for concern what so ever and that it could be quite likely a contrubuting factor to why I "only" brought a CBR600RR :killingme

Take your pics full resolution & I'll show you how to resize them for uploading. A small shareware program called Irfanview can be downloaded from the net or I can supply. It is small & powerfull for slideshows, special effects, resizing and cropping to name a few - highly recommended.

RUBBISH SHE ONLY LIKES IT CAUSE ITS A GIRLS BIKE AND SHE CAN RIDE IT TOO.
BUT SERIOUSLY CONGRATS ARE IN ORDER EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN AT LEAST ONE NEW BIKE IN HIS LIFE ,KEEP THE SHINY SIDE UP

"She" can get her own bloody bike! That and she can't even get onto it since she is vertically challenged and the fact that its my toy and I ain't sharing. I offered her he old bike, offered a 125 or 250cc bike, but she wants a scooter??? :calm:
Went for a ride South and back again. Managed to double the KMs I've done on it. Was also Christened from above, thanks to the lovely naki weather. On my way back into town saw a Repsol blade and I think a ZXR 636. However a red light stopped me from finding out who they are. Managed to get some pictures of lower resolution after adjusting the settings on my camera. The last one is especially for Winja and all the non-believers :devil2:

Unexpected family drama has meant that I'll not be coming along on the ride tomorrow. The mojo is there, I could feel it trying to get out. I just need to improve my fitness (work in progress) so I can push harder as it is holding me back. However this has just given me the push in the direction I need to go and know that I'll only improve riding my new bike. Cheers nadroj for all the great pictures, software and tutorial on how to alter digital pictures. I don't have time at the moment to post more, but my profile picture is now the real thing. :niceone:

More of them than straights about here. One of the many reasons why I opted for a 600cc bike. I found myself wanting to speed up just for the courners like when I was a teenager. If this is what they refer to a mid life crisis, I'm all for it. If not, I'm all for it anyway. That and in yesterdays paper, in a recient survey, 52% of women would prefer to go to bed with a bald male. Mine is falling out, no were are those 52% of women??? :devil2:
