Hi to everyone, stumbled across this site whilst surfing the tinterweb for CB1000 reviews. I read the launch reviews and placed my deposit and then read the MCN test (sightly dissapointed/slightly surprised) but have not been put off, and pick it up 4th July. It's booked in for it's 1st service on the 8th July and then I'm off to Isle of Man on it on the 9th for 3 days.....so that'll be about 1000 miles in it's 1st 10 days, so it had better be good !!
Been riding for 27 yrs or so years, had about 40 bikes, tourers, sports bikes, all rounders, most things really otherthan cruisers/Harleys/customs. Currently own a CB1300s which is a great 'all rounder', and which I intend to keep for touring/weekends away etc. Only real 'fault' with the 1300 is that it's not really sporty/fun/exciting enough. So hopefully the 1000R will scratch that particular itch !
