Love it ... Would buy one in a heartbeat but its just to slow 
Why oh why do Jap naked designers decide that its a good idea to cut the balls off there naked engines !! Yes i understand they dont need to be abe to do 170+mph but do they really have to drop it from 160bhp to 109 bhp (about the same as a 600) .
Im sure they could have kept it to 140ish and retuned for more midrange ...messed with the gearing and it would still be fun !!
But enjoy yer new steed sir !!

I agree... I'd love that bike but with a full blown 08 blade mill, untouched. Imagine how insane the bike would be to ride, and a ton of fun.

Nice bike, if I ever get a second bike to go with the harley it may well be something of this sort of style.
Couldnt agree more although the first time it kicks in and starts feeding back through the front brake control it doenst half feel wierd.

Pity thats at the crank figure not at the wheel .. Im afraid its 109 at the wheel and im sure given the low/mid end tunning and lower gearing it will be very brisk to a ton ..
My Tuono kills a Gsxr1000 K7 to a ton but then quicklys gets reeled in by aerodynamics . and im running 140bhp .
Please dont think im slagging yer bike as im not...I would be down to a dealership tomorrow if they had fitted the 2008 engine and gave it at least 140bhp as i think it looks the dogs and definetly the best looking naked bike on the market atm (bar the zorst).
But looks like im gonna be forced into getting a Bking as suzuki seem to be the only people who are happy not to restrict/retune there engines when they go naked .

Lovely bike, I have its smaller brother
Nice bike... I want a go on one of these myself, but I'm a bit nervous in case I like it too much
Yep, some of them you just know full well that they were designed with the understanding that most people would replace them, like the recent GSXRs. Which is fair enough really

I was going to write 'wheres the exhaust?'
But I don't think it would be funny now people have already made comments about the exhaust
Very nice bike! And as many have said.. The exhaust doesn't look bad.. It just doesn't add anything to it

Nice bike, i like the new Hornet 600 a lot, i was thinking of getting one before the CB1000R was available, i was also looking at the Hornet 900 but the CB1000R and Hornet 600 look so much better with the new styling and USD forks.
Hey d.chatten, just seen this thread. You a member on HondaCB1000R.com as well then? I've got a black non-ABS too, but I've got to part with mine
Hi Antnee, yes i'm a member of HondaCB1000R.com, great site and you do a great job on the forum, i'm sorry to here you have part with your bike, i hope you haven't got bored with it, but i suppose thats a daft question.
