Hello everyone,
As you can see from the list of my previously owned bikes I had a new Hornet 600 -07 as my last bike...sold it yesterday...
As far as the CB1000RA I ordered one here in Sweden in February, long before either the price or performance figures were official. But I guess that's the way I function....can't help it...
Anyway, Honda MC of Sweden will offer the first 20 buyers in Sweden a free flight to Rome, hotel, meal and bus the following day to pick up your new CB1000RA at the factory, plus a tour of the factory.
As I was probably the first one to place an order for this bike in Sweden, my ticket is secured....
And yes, even if I don't actually have the bike in my garage yet, one could in a sense say that I already own it since I already paid my retailer the entire purchase price.
I am not too worried about the power figure not being higher than 125HP - my retailer told me the official power figure is "held back a bit" just as is the case with the "Audi RS6 V10"....
I hope to see a lots of posts at this forum regarding possible modifications to the bike!
DynoJet already launched a Power Commander for the bike:

OK...??! Lot's of luck to all of us new CB1000R -08/9 owners!

:welcome

Wow... flights, hotel... etc... now that's what I call looking after your customers.

Many congratulations you must be very excited now, especially as more and more information is becoming available (like the Moto-Station roadtest in our Multimedia forum).

It's great to have another owner-to-be as a member of the club and we eagerly await to hear all about your new CB1000R as well as seeing the pictures.

:respekt

I'm living in "Sollentuna" - one of Stockholm's many suburbs. It's right between the center of Stockholm and Stockholm Arlanda Airport, along E4.
I will of course post photos of the trip asap!
Yeah, Honda Sweden is pretty active! They used to be number one in Sweden for sooo many years, but some years ago Yamaha passed them and they are committedto doing whatever it takes to get back on top!
Cheers! :rollin
