Is the 2008 Honda CBR1000RR a good bike?
Dude, the 2008 CBR1000RR better have more power than that!” Indeed it does, but I was flashing back a decade to the first press launch of my motojournalist career. The changes made to the 1998 CBR900RR made it the best big CBR ever, and I was awed by how fast yet controllable that new scalpel was.
What kind of twist does a Honda CBR1000RR have?
The’07 bike was at or near the top of the pack in terms of twist below 9000 rpm, but this new CBR easily puts the old one on the trailer. It was rather impressive to have the front wheel soar off the ground in a controllable power wheelie while exiting the second-gear Turn 3, no squidly clutch dump required.
Are there any problems with Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade?
Beware replacement non OE rear sprockets that omit a shim from the OE cush drive system and leave the drive train feeling loose and give excessive vibes through bars and footrests. Gearbox brilliant for clutch-less changes and never gave any problems.
Is the slipper clutch on a Honda CBR1000RR?
This model also features a slipper clutch – a first since the HRC WSB special RC45 – and it works; get the braking over and snick down three and let the lever out. Perfect. Marked down a notch here because of the Honda CBR1000RR’s not so attractive fairing, which, to be honest, isn’t so bad in the flesh.
