This bike comes out of the box ready for any style of riding you throw at it. It hugs the corners like it is cemented to the road, even at high speeds. The brakes are balanced and powerful, yet, subtile enough that they don't throw you out of a corner or have you heading over the front cowl. With flexible suspension adjustments, both front and rear, it is easy to set this bike up for your ideal riding style and weight. The HESD system, aka, the "Honda Electronic Steering Damper" is not truly noticed until higher speeds are achieved, normally anything above 60 MPH. The dash cluster is easy to read and understand, even when you are humming down the road. The CBR's power is delivered quickly and smoothly throughout the powerband. From the factory, there is a lack of torque in the low end of the rev's, but, this can be corrected with the normal modifications that most sportbike owners install regardless, i.e., power commander, exhaust, and air filter. One thing that really helps this motorcycle stand out from the rest is the quality. Unsurpassed reliability and the overall fit and finish is second to none. While similar model sportbikes start showing their age at 10,000 to 15,000 miles, the 1000RR runs like it did from day one, regardless what the odometer says. If you are looking for a bike with race ready features and handling, street rideability and comfort, and a machine that outlasts the majority of it's late model competitors, the CBR 1000RR is definately a wise choice.
