If you want to here bad things about hondas you have come to the wrong place. All of the people on this forum are diehard honda fanatics.

Are you getting the graffiti paint scheme that you have showing in your avatar, or what?

Thanks blkpitbull I'll check that site out.

Yeah I will be getting the graffiti graphic one. That shyt is SICK! Philthy Phil u r talkin to one of the biggest Honda fanatics out there. Here is a lil more info about myself. Lets see I currently drive a 98 Honda Integra (Acura, same difference) every other car before that that I have owned has been a Honda. I also work for a company called Skunk2 Racing. Don't kno if u guys r familiar with that company or not. My title there is Engine Builder/ Mechanic. If u guys aren't familiar with Skunk2 we specialize in Honda. So that gives u a lil idea on how big of a Honda fanatic I am.

Oh yeah tell me about it... I cant wait! I've never seen a sexy bike than that one!

Yeah I work at Skunk and I'm still into the street tuner scene... But I got mad love for both the street tuner cars and the street bikes.

not for long... just wait till you get some experience on your cbr, cars will start getting slower, and slower, and boring...

lol just take it easy on it for now, take your time with it and dont get ahead of yourself, those bikes can get away on you quick.

advice hey? hmmm...

the first 50 or so miles on those tires, dont push em! they bite back

wheelies look like fun but you cant steer or otherwise control the bike on the back tire

dont brake while cornering, if youre uncomfortable with a turn slow down before hand

mix the front and back brake while riding, dont use all front or back. a happy medium will provide ample stopping power and balance

when balancing the bike at low speeds, dont overcompensate. huge motions back and forth of the front tire trying to keep straight isnt going to help you. if youre not sure of the balance, put a foot down or both if youre unsure, until you get a handle on the balance. balancing the bike at low speeds is done best with small, smooth movement. tiny adjustments of the steering angle will keep the bike up. panicking will land you in the dirt.

always watch intersections before you get to them, someone may look eager to run a red, or yellow, in either case you dont want to rush into an intersection.

people are stupid, everyone else is trying to kill you at all times. they want you dead, smeared on the pavement. dont give them the satisfaction, ride defensive, and dont stay beside or too near to any vehicles for any longer than you have to. keep as many spaces open to run to as you can, you never know when or where the next attempt on your life is coming from.

other than that, respect the machine, ride smart and youll be fine.

Thanks for the advice EYEOFTHESTORM

I got my bike on Saturday morning fresh out of the container.

The bike is really smooth and it handles very well. Lots of power and very fun to ride.

I will post up some pics of the bike later on. Thanks to everyone that contributed to giving me advice. It helped out a lot.

Where is a good place to find race rails?
