2007 Honda Repsol. What you think?

[Darkman]

I think i like. Can't wait so see it in the flesh. arriving in March. I know they might not be as good as all the other thous, but doesn't it just look great?

[robertydog]

Oh yea. Very nice

[Kendog]

Damn hot!!!

[mud boy]

it look ok:mellow:

[Nutter34]

Jammer!!!

Not my thing dude...

What happened to the SuperDuke?

[Darkman]

Jammer!!!

Not my thing dude...

What happened to the SuperDuke?

still want the duke..I just thought the new repsol looks quite cool with the blue.

[McJim]

What can I say? I've never liked the colour orange.

[Nutter34]

still want the duke..I just thought the new repsol looks quite cool with the blue.

I'd rather go for the Duke... and that's saying a lot since I'm not generally a v-twin man (unless it's 2-stroke of course), lol....

BRILLIANT!!!!:rockon:

[Prof - R]

now thats a nice bike

[Drew]

Looks the same to me, and although they are a really nice bike to ride. They still feel slow, if you've ridden any of the other litre bikes.

[bane]

hang on, doesnt McD's do that every day of the week?!


btw, nice looking bike

[Smokin]

Still an awesome looking piece of kit :rockon:

[Ghost_Bullet]

Yeah I liken it. To be honest, never been a fan of full fared bikes, but they are growing on me, after joining this place. Have not even riden something along these lines... I remember going into a store many moons ago and asking to take a Busa for a spin... I was about 26, and the guy looked at me, and said... I dont think so... I had just gotten me full license, so I went to another shop and bought a bike from them a few days later... well that was a bit off topic?? lol:Punk:

[Darkman]

Looks the same to me
Spot the difference now? I like the blue in it..

[imdying]

Not much new there... could have at least made a Ten Kate replica instead of pushing the same crap out so soon. Still has the best looking swingarm of the litre bikes. The other mobs could learn a lot from Honda about yummy looking mass manufactured parts.

[Finn]

Well your parents did and they called it a Dover

[Deviant Esq]

I like it. I like the silver frame and white highlights, and the blue's a bit different for them too. Be interesting to see how the 2007 season goes overall actually. Begins Feb 27th. :niceone:

Ha ha. Thanks. That was one of my favorite lines from the Donkey in Shek. The donkey got all the best lines.

Caution- never accept an invite to Dover's for pancakes.

I like the orange wheels, good eye candy that colour.

[Mort]

Thats not a 2007 Blade.... its a 2006 - look at the swing arm - Alloy not black.

[Darkman]

Thats not a 2007 Blade.... its a 2006 - look at the swing arm - Alloy not black.

huh? the following are both 2006 and they are black, or am i looking at the wrong thing?

[Sensei]

Have heard that the 07 is a heap better than the old model 04/06's Eg more power etc because they needed to do something about that bottom end or total lack of it !! Never have I ridden a more Guttless 1000cc Jap bike in 20 years than my a friends 04 CBR1000RR in my Life ! Afew guys that ride here on the Pie / Pints have the 07's now & are keen to get me to set them up for them so will post a review once I have tryed the New 07's . Till then will just hope for great things from them .

[MD]

Yes it is. The lower picture has more engine on show where the lower fairing wraps around the motor - that's the 2007 model. The 2004/06 model had the fairing covering most of the motor.

[Smokin]

Pretty sure your right Darkman, my pics show a black swingarm for 2006.

Word on the street (on the 06/07 vs the 04/05) is all they did was lower the gearing and then increase the redline to bring the top speed back up. No real major engine changes apart from that. Didn't it also lose a whole ton of weight? Maybe that'd be the reason for the better performance. Most of the late model 1000cc 4s have sacrificed bottom end for more up top.

[The_Dover]

i heard that honda's are still for fags and that the repsol paintjob is to compensate for the lack of ponies.

[MyGSXF]

MMmmmmmmmm... Reeeepsollll... :love: :love: :drool: :drool:

[Mort]

Looks like the Repsol Rep gets the alloy swing arm and grey frame for 2007

Check out the UK Honda site (http://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/DispatcherServlet?hidAction=Lookup&hidActionDetail=view_gallery&hidMSGID=8&hidMSGCode=SUPERSPORTS&hidMSGName=Supersports&hidProductID=68&hidSelectedProductCode=CBR1000RR+Fireblade&hidProductName=CBR1000RR+Fireblade#focusHere)

... all the models have black frame and swing arm aprt from the Repsol replica

I rode the 2004 and bought an R1 instead.... I bought a 2007 a few weeks ago and the engine definately have more power than my 04 R1 under 7000rpm so I would say it is a better engine.... and I dont think its down to gearing... Its a brilliant engine for low down power... I'm working my way up to the top end whilst running it in... So far I'm really impressed with the engine. Great for the road.... cant wait to try the track.:angry:

Yes but the 04-06 R1 has the weakest low end of all the litre bikes. Have you seen a comparitive dyno for the 04 vs the 06 CBR engine? Lower gearing and less weight can feel like more power on a seat of the pants dyno. I'm not doubting you I'm just curious.

[Kyle]

From what i have seen, yeah the other 07 models have a black swing arm, but the nose cone on this repsol looks like the 07 one, so perhaps they get the alloy one, which is smarter if you ask me, the black one will just show up scratches easyer. And the 06 repsol did have blue, but i think that picture is taken in a highly lighted studio which brings out the pearls more than average. But regardless, its still sexy, and useable. Not everyone wants the back wheel to light up at quarter throttle when its wet. I`ll take two thanks, one to race and one to put in my bedroom for those long lonely nights. :innocent:

may be didnt word that right... In 2004 I tested an 04 CBR .v. a 04 R1. The R1 felt better, I liked the handling and it looked great so I bought the R1.

The 2007 CBR is definately a better engine than that 04 R1... It could be a gearing thing but under 8000rpm there's tons of power whereas the R1 had less (still good though)

So far I'm really impressed with the 07 CBR... for the road it has great power , you never seem to be in the wrong gear, and I've really not started to explore its full potential.

[The_Dover]

grows some balls and get a gixxer.

i heard that honda's are still for fags

How do ya know they're for fags, you finding yourself attracted? I love that bike. I want one BAD!

[Insanity_rules]

Ding ding, give this man a cigar! Too right! Had a couple of good Yamaha's though, one of which was yours if I remember rightly. I qualify good by the fact it took a good thrashing by all in sundry and just wouldn't die!

Remember the RD50?

[The_Dover]

[The Pastor]

I like the lines on this bike its very hot. Not sure i'd ever own a HONDUUUR though (just out of spite/standerds)

[boomer]

That could be my next bike!

The reviews say they're the dogs bolloks and even i'll be able to ride fast on it :scooter:

[Finn]

I like it. I might upgrade mine.

[Madness]

[The_Dover]

no, Hitcher is the authority on miniature rodent availability and importation legality. I think he works for The Den or something.

[The_Dover]

Well that would be less embarrassing than riding a Suzuki.

My name is Insanity and I've lost my gerbil! Anyone got a torch? No matches, we've all heard the stories. Don't like small boys but not adverse to a rim job from a FEMALE Thai prostitute.

[The_Dover]

does it comes oversize baggy pants and a hoodie?

it will when it's old enough to go out on the burgs, sell crack and pimp ho's.

it will be able to buy all the blingin threads and joolry it wants.

all of course supplemented by unkle helens dole payments

[Madness]

[ceebie13]

you can't cover a turd with syrup and call it a pancake.

What would you call it then, D.?

[The_Dover]

What would you call it then, D.?

a load of crepe.

[ceebie13]

I'm sure its very quick, I'm sure it's very fast, I'm sure it's very pretty. In fact I'd love to ride it just to see what its like, but to me it's just another sportsbike lost in a sea of sportsbikes. Which was one of the reasons I reverted to a naked torquey muscley thingy!

[ceebie13]

a load of crepe.

Brilliant!! I like quick witted humour. Or was I being slow?

[Toaster]

Nah, looks like Ronald McDonald lost his load over it.

It seems to me that round here there are stuff all modern sports bikes and every man and his dog is riding a naked type bike!

[Biff]

They still feel slow, if you've ridden any of the other litre bikes.

That's typical Honda for you. Neutral performance. The figures show it's a damned competitive bike. Maybe other litre machines are less 'refined'...

I know what you're saying though, it's the same with the mighty Biffbird, it's deceptively fast without the involvement associated with riding the Zuki, Yam and Kwaka jobbies. Although IMO the Kwaka (ZX10) is overly 'involving'.

Whatever floats your boat I spose.
