HI. I'm from Portugal and actually I have a honda cb600 Hornet, my first bike.

I'm waiting for cb1000r and firsts road tests and reviews. I almost decide to change my hornet for the new CB.

Hello and :welcome Rui. Where in Portugal are you?

I'm from Cacém, 25km from Lisbon and maybe 10km from the beautiful village of Sintra.

Hi Rui :welcome

I've only been to Portugal once (Praia De Rocha/Portimao) but I loved it there, the people were great and we got out away from the coast and had a great time. England's oldest ally too :thumbup

Glad to have you with us :beer

I have worked many years in Faial,Azores on a sportfishing boat. Ever been there Rui? I always had to overnight in Lisbon flying to and from there. :thumbup

Yesterday I ordered my CB1000R Black.

No, I never been in Azores, but everyone say it is beautiful.

Congrats! When are you expecting delivery? ABS or not?

In Portugal, Honda will sell only normal version, without ABS. I'm expecting 1st week of July.

 

[Antnee]

Awesome. One more black non-ABS into the fold :clap

BIG NEWS

BIG NEWS!!!

Today I receive news about my cb1000r. 27th of June she arrives to Barcelona - Spain and maybe 1st of July arrives at Sintra - Portugal. Less than 7 days...

By other side, today I pass in the shop and I signed papers to sell my cb600 hornet, someone out there is riding my ex-hornet...

 

[Antnee]

That's great news Rui! Fingers crossed there are CB1000Rs in the UK or at least on the way now. They're due to be delivered on the 27th, ready for release on the 4th... I hope!

With a delay, but yesterday I receive my new CB1000R :lick

I'm soo happy. :rollin

 

[Antnee]

Excellent! It's about time! How were you finding those warning lights in the sun? Don't look too bad in the first picture, but likewise they don't look really clear either

 

[Fordzoid]

Very nice :thumbup

 

[DAN]

:respekt :respekt :respekt

 

[rui]

Until now I dont notice any problem with lights and the sun. I'm not tall, about 5'6 (168cm), maybe the angle between me and the panel helps in this.

But at the night it's beautiful, all panel in blue.

 

[Antnee]

It is indeed! Have you turned the brightness up to 3 yet? One of the first things I did!
