HI ALL , I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THESE PICS WITH YOU AS 99% OF CBR BUYERS WILL NEVER SEE THERE BIKE AS IT COMES IN FRESH FROM JAPAN ..........

Very cool, thanks for posting the pics. Often wondered exactly how they were as freshly opened from the crate. I'm guessing that the windshield and mirrors are in the box strapped to the rear tire?

i got to watch through the window as the tech opened my crate and put the accessories on, pour in the the fluids and start er up
it was like watching my kids being born
(i guess i really dont have kids but i am assuming that it is something like that)

I think the bike coming out of the crate is way better from what I've seen about delivery on TV

Thats how I bought mine. I walked up to the truck that was unloading the crates and picked out mine. They unloaded it with a forklift. I helped them put it together with some persuasion. Nothing like breaking open your own bike out of the 2x4 crate. Ahhh nice!!!

Yeah I work at the dealership where I bought mine so I was able to walk out to the lot, pick mine out, get it down with the forklift, and uncrate it myself. When I rode out the odometer was 0 miles. I was the happiest man in the world. I took the rest of the day off.

Nothing special, just a painted swingarm. I already have that.

I guess that would make sense. When my daughter was born i said to myself "can I handle it" ?
When I bought my fireblade, I said "can I handle it" ?
