New Guy From Alaska

I registered but I planto lurk until I get my new '06 CBR-1000 in March. I put a deposit on an all black one two weeks ago. Not much reason to get it any earlier since I live in Alaska and that's about as early as the snow disappears from the streets, if we're really lucky.

I have a Ducati Monster S2R and a Suzuki DL1000 (V-Strom) but I'm trading in the V-Strom on the CBR-1000. I found I was riding the Ducati all the time and seldom riding the Suzuki. Then it occurred to me that what I really wanted was a full bore sportsbike.

I've been riding for many moons... back to a Honda SuperHawk in the 70's. I've had a Virago 750 for commuting in Seattle for a while and one of the original GS-1100's way back when!

Look forward to the discussions about what I think is a remarkable sportsbike... I looked at the GSX-R1000 but I decided on the CBR-1000 because of the design, how it looks, and Honda's reputation for quality and reliability.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! And the kind comments about Alaska... it may be a short riding season but it's intense!

Well, ahhh, it's not gone in March very often... but one in a while... if we're really lucky, and the planets are aligned just right... OK, I exaggerated! We usually have snow in March but sometimes it's gone by April!
