You Got Options? - 4/3/2007 9:41:53 PM    cb2cbr Posts: 94 Joined: 11/18/2005 Status: offline After about 26 years on the same bike I thought it was time to update....a Little, with my '94 CBR 1000F. I've seen some members mention owning another bike so I wondered who and what. Is it HONDA ONLY, or a big V-twin tumper, or something to play in the dirt with? So show us what else is in the stable, if you are so lucky to have options. _____________________________ cb2cbr 1979 CB750F one owner-me 1994 CBR1000F Post #: 1

RE: You Got Options? - 4/4/2007 2:23:17 PM    cb2cbr Posts: 94 Joined: 11/18/2005 Status: offline CBR1988 -You are my Hero!  A garage full of CBX's. I was considering an '81 or '82 before I bought the '94 CBR. Always loved the looks of the Hondaline fairing on those. My plan was to buy one new back in '82 and take my new bride on the honeymoon on the back. She nixxed that plan as she couldn't fit a weeks worth of clothes in one of those little side cases. As I recall my response was something like "How much clothes do you need, it's the honeymoon afterall?" Well 25 years and three kids later we're gonna try this again on the CBR I think. Thanks for the chronological list, it was a stroll down memory lane of some of the bikes I have lusted after. Put up some pics if you can! Speaking of pics, I must be a moron as I can't seem to get them to upload even after I followed DevilsReject How-to and got the confirmation window.??? Lets try the 750 pic one more time.

That's incredibly cool. All it's missing is a shaft drive. Too bad they were over $15 grand. A really nice find for you. That's another one I'll put on the lottery list!

RE: You Got Options? - 4/5/2007 9:24:26 PM    Stray Cat Posts: 316 Joined: 6/5/2006 Status: offline quote: ORIGINAL: CBR1988 Hey: Capt OB, how do you like that GTS and how does it compare to the old CBR? Dub Well I haven't really rode it at all. I rode it home after buying it a couple of weeks ago, and just last week got around to changing out the front tire, and changing all the fluids (brake, clutch, oil and coolant) before I actually took it out and rode it. I've been commuting on the CBR for the last couple of weeks now that it's light out longer. One thing that I did notice is the GTS seems lighter. But it's really only a few pounds lighter then the CBR. Our 1Kf's are porky bastards for sure. With steel frame the CBR carries it's weigh higher so it feels larger then it is. Also the GTS's ride is super smooth. Bumps almost don't exist to this machine. Very little brake dive either. I'll do a better comparison when I get a chance to put her through her paces. I was very fortunate to find such a nice example. Yes very rare and they were uber expensive new. $15K in 1994! No wonder they didn't sell many. I paid far less then that for my 2005 FJR!
