CBR600RR 2007 - Question

**Quartida** · 1st May 2007, 09:26

Hi guys,

I haven't been on here in ages but I hope all is well.
I also thought you all might be able to help me out.
I found the following question on a random forum I belong to. As you may know, I am still a newbie biker, so I don't really understand the question, but perhaps one of you can answer it?

"Why, on the Honda CBR600RR 2007 model, is one 'hero peg' footrest bolt longer than the other?"

Any takers?

As the exhaust may not be symmetrical or something like that generally.

Oh and it has more power and weighs less than a GSXR, R6 or a 6R!

its to help balence the bikes....you see...most guys hang a lil to the left....so in order to balance the bike properly honda added a tiny bit of weight via some light weight alloy on the bottom of the pegs on the right hand side....

suzuki amd kawasaki havn't bothered because the people who ride their machines have much much bigger cocks so it was deemed a silly idea,as at stationary the bikes would fall off there stands without the rider aboard due to the massive amount of weight needed to counter this effect...

Yamaha was making piano's and missed everything...but hey...they're girls bikes anyway!!

wow really!

I didn't notice! Shit!

But maybe the fact the chain etc is on the left means there is more CAT etc on the right what with EURO 3 making everyones life a pain in the arse.

Because one peg is higher than the other. I guess it is so that the hero blob touches down at the same lean angle on both sides.

I think the previous model 600RR also had footpegs at different levels.

Wouldn't it depend on what side those riders hang their tackle inside their leathers then, what if they don't just leave it in the middle, they would crash surely?

Really,
I must get one then. as I have one leg longer than the other....

Just hope it is the right side, otherwise I will have to ride it backwards...
