Off road CBR 1000RR ??????

Hammer · 11-30-2005, 9:03 PM

Did not really know where to post this.

But here goes, stolen from another board. May be my next bike

luvtolean · 11-30-2005, 9:08 PM

Whatever.

Do you think that chassis can handle the stress of off-road?

Mojave954 · 11-30-2005, 9:12 PM

Best use yet I have seen for a 1krr....

Dude has too much time and money on his hands

PROJECT929 · 11-30-2005, 10:11 PM

I noticed on some movies they use bikes setup like this for offroad clips during a street riding scene, it's been awhile but I'm pretty sure it was mission impossible 2 that I saw it and thought how cheesy and fake the stunts looked. I think one of the Charlies Angles flicks had something like this in it to, or wait maybe it was tomb radier. anyway, waste of money if you ask me, real dirt bikes work way better for sure.

Haters, think about this for a minute. I know a CBR does not have the travel in the suspension to sustain off road abuse, but think of the horse power. A 250 has what? 70hp if that A CBR 1000RR has 160hp with a knarly pair of knobbies to rip sh*t up. Pretty cool IMO.

PROJECT929 · 11-30-2005, 11:20 PM

I dunno, 160 hp with no suspension = crash = pain and $$$$. I guess if you have millions to blow and don't mind being in full body cast it'd be cool.

phobiaphobe · 11-30-2005, 11:23 PM

Looks like fun. I saw that this morning on 1000rr.net... is that where you pinched it?

Most modern 250's have 45hp

luvtolean · 11-30-2005, 11:24 PM

A very strong running 2-stroke 250 has about 50HP.

And it would be several thousand times more fun to ride in the dirt.

luvtolean · 11-30-2005, 11:25 PM

EDIT: BTW, the 03 CR 250 puts out great power(on the dyno) for a stock 250 and is normally around 47HP.

Mine is uh...over 50.

Hammer · 11-30-2005, 11:33 PM

Ok, so I was 20 HP over.

Project 929, last time I checked a 1000RR only cost around 11k new, not Millions.

No, another board.

*Mo Noyz* · 11-30-2005, 11:42 PM

I took my 954 off road once.

Once!

But we're talking about 250's, not cheater bikes

phobiaphobe · 11-30-2005, 11:45 PM

I rode a FT500 Ascot up to the top of a mountain on a dirtbike path... And I've been spotted riding my VFR through ditches. (slowly) Still fun.

Yeah, anyone with eyes can see different tires from scene to scene in MI:2 if you're looking for it.

Robert3RR · 12-01-2005, 1:57 AM

If you want to go offroad get a dirt bike...thats crazy...

mojo1094 · 12-01-2005, 7:31 AM

hey Mo Noise, is that a johnny dangerously quote?!?

Also, I wonder how that would do in the snow?

Why do you guy's say it's expensive? What would it take to do that to a bike?

Tornado bait · 12-01-2005, 9:26 AM

It's all about power : weight ratio.

ruffryder · 12-01-2005, 11:02 AM

I think its kinda cool....granted I wouldnt do it to mine, I assume most of you feel that way, but what the hell.....cool pics!

You must not be shopping at my local dealer. He'd tell me anything to justify his bloated prices.

The 150 HP 440 pound CBR1000 definately beats the 220 pound 50HP (being generous) 250.

That roost is the perfect example of why outside of hillclimbing you don't want that much power. You can't put it to the ground. And furthermore, you can't hang on.

I rode Matress' CR500 and anytime I got into the whoops that damn thing tried to run away from me. It's just got so much power!

Light dirtbikes with good power are the most fun. And for most people it's actually easy to get a single cylinder bike too powerful for them to ride.

flight954 · 12-01-2005, 5:55 PM

got roost?

Hey Phobe, this guy a relative of yours

He's from Canada!

CBR929RE · 12-01-2005, 8:31 PM

I think its kinda cool, I'd never do it myself. well maybe I'd ride it if it was someone elses bike and they wouldn't care if I crashed it. Hell me and some friends made a little jump into some mulch at the end of a parking lot one time. We're dumb one after another 4 us rode the little 50 at max speed over the jump and crashed. It was kinda dumb considering the very first of us crashed and the rest still did it but it was fun.

and should we

that guy for endagering a cow or maybe a deer or worse a Sheep.
