hey fellas,

I got a few questions, Im interested in two bikes for the same price of 8999. For both the red 675 or blk 061000RR Brand new. the CBR is at a great deal now since 07's are out and its winter, but I havnt ridden in four years. I had a bike license from 16 to 23, owned/rode/rain or shine/ an 87FZ600 and a 97CBRF3. Taken DP racing @ sears point raceway when i was 17..... Put about 60k miles total on both bikes. My question is.... is it too much of a gap to jump straight to a CBR1000RR. Or should I just play it safe and get the 675 or wait for the 07600. I know eventually the speed of the 600s will bore me out and will my riding skills should come back up to speed. Im just trying to be a bit cautious. Or u guys think I will be just fine. Thanx

$9000 bucks for a brand new 1000RR is one HELL of deal, I would jump on it before someone else does. Good luck. (also, you've ridden motorcycles before, so you shouldn't have any problem adjusting to the sportbike, but I would retake the MSF course again as a refresher, then practice on the 1000 for a while until you get comfortable on it. That's a lot of bike, so just be careful and respect it's authorita!

I was actually thinkin bout gettin the 675 but i ended up gettin the 1000rr fr my first bike. U wont have any problems as long as u respect it. the 1000 is a great bike and so is the 675 from what i hear so either way u will have a nice one.

as much as i like the new 675 it would always be a 2nd choice against the 1000RR
remember to keep the Honda under 8k till your skills come back to you

get the 1000rr, i just got one, i was gonna wait but i got a great deal too. i gave 9grand and got a helmet and jacket. i have never owned a bike before, ridden off road but not much on street. i love my 1krr. it's very smooth and easy to drive i havn't even tested the power yet. just take it easy at 1st you'll be fine.

Get the 1000 and for that price don't second guess it.Treat it like a 600 for a while and then as you get more experience

,go faster and faster.

A guy I know bought one a while back. I've looked it over and just from the looks the honda seems like a much better quality bike. It just looks like it's made better. Sure the Triumph comes with a couple of goodies already but over all the I'd get the honda, I did; and it came down between the same to bikes for me when I was in the market in July. I paid 10,500OTD for my cbr and the guy I know paid 10k OTD for his 675.

Hey Now Fellas,

After a long grueling decision. I ended up with an black/grey 07CBR1kRR for 11,5 out the door. Not bad for here in WA. I knew the 06's were a steal but my wife liked the 07 better. We drove 50 miles away and looked at the grey Triumph 675 and my wife says, it didnt look as good as the Honda. I wanted it since I knew I wont be able to use all the power of the 1kRR. Oh well, I love the color of my new 1kRR, but its still at the dealer since its raining today. hahahaha! Thanks fellas for the all the advice, but my new bike sure felt heavy.......
