My first honda

Hi all
 
      I pick up my 2003 600rr this saturday, which i traded my zx7r ninja in for.
I was wondering wether it was a good move, is there any bad points to the bike.
what sorts of mods do people do, what sort of power do they make.
also do they have a slipper clutch in this model
 
sorry for questions but my first bike was the 7r and i'm just comparing, the 7r was 109 at wheel
 
thanks
sean

Most of what you asked as far as the power and the slipper clutch can be found on these forums, try searching under each.  As far as did you make a good move... you are on a Honda Forum... we are quite tainted because we love our bikes... other than that welcome to the Honda Community

Welcome to owning a honda. They are an awesome bike if you have an clue on how to ride. Have fun and be careful.

It is going to be able to compare the two bikes. Two different classes of bikes. You will not be dissapointed with your rr. As far as mod's go, do some searching. There is many upgrades you can do to your machine.
 
Welcome, got any pics?

 
Sorry, somebody had to do it.

If you ask if it was a good move on "cbrforum.com" then it's pretty obvious that people are gonna tell you that you made the right move.  Put this same thread on "zx7rforum.com" and everybody is gonna tell you that you made the wrong move.  That being said, I think you made the right move.  Congrats on the Honda, let's see some pics!!!

Welcome!
 
The '03RR does not come equipped with a slipper clutch.

i'm usless with computers, i haven't a clue how to put pictures, tried and it said too big?
 
any ways, thanks for info been looking on site some good stuff about. pick honda up sat. afternoon so i'll let people know what i think, Must be easer to ride than the dinosaur i had. the 7r was hard work but worth it

I just got my 600rr and i love it.  Whats not to love?  Its a honda!

Post some pics.

as soon as i get the bike on satuurday i'll try and post some picts

I love love love my 2003... you most likely will too

    I have an 03 as well (Yellow)
Love it,  put the Termignoni slip on a few months ago and just strapped on new Michelin Pilot Powers for the spring/summer.  You'll be pleased as everyone else said.  Welcome to the Honda community

Now i pick up the bike on sat, but couldn't wait so went and asked for a propper ride.....
 
First impresions, is throttle bit snatchy on off throttle, then i thoughtm stop being a tosser and just ride!
 
What a machine, compaired to the 7r its so light, i mean the 7 was my first bike so cant say about other bikes, side to side is no effort what so eva, and the lack of mid range was no problem, really smooth power delivary. suspension was stiff but soaked all bumps up, and went where i wanted it to.
 
only thing, could do with a tooth of the front sprocket
 
Cant wait to pick it up and not have to give it back

I just changed over from a yamaha R6 to a honda 600rr and love the honda.  Good move.

Picked up bike today and been took her to the coast!
 
Again what a fantastic machine, front end good only one problem the rear shock keeps trying to send me up in the air??
I weigh 13 stone (182pounds) with gear on, what position do you recomend for the rear pr-load to be set at its on the third one i think

Scrubbed in new tyres, and done 378miles and still love it
