Hello - My First Honda

Hey Guys,

Well after being a Yamaha Fan Boi (owning a 03 R6 and also a 02 R1) i have jumped ship and onto a Honda CBR954rr. Ive had it for about 2 weeks so ill let you know how it all goes... just curious but is it just my bike that gets bloody hot?

Also another quick question, does anybody know where i can get the CBR decal thats on the ducktail?

Heres my bike:

One of the places you can find OE decals is on ronayers.com

I am sure there are other places to find decals (I cant think of any right now)

Nice bike by the way

imajo nice bike i saw this on ebay in dec but i missed out, found mine in jan (a yellow and black one instead) and mine also seems to get quite hot in traffic but it has mostly been hot weather when i've been riding so i put it down to this.

hi Steve,

Yeah the owner had it advertised elsewhere so i ended up going to go have a look and buying it. Do you have a surge at around 3000rpm which is pretty much bang on 60km/ph - feels like its chugging away?

Re: Hello - My First Honda

imajo if you are in top mine also chuggs but i think this is because 60kph is too slow for top gear so i tend to be only in fourth or maybee fifth gear when doing 60kph. my bike sits @ 4000rpm when doing 100kph and i am pretty sure that the gearing on mine is standard.

Re: Hello - My First Honda

well been a bit lazy lately but usually just through the mountains Dandenong - Spurs - Korrumburra - Havnt had a chance to hit the island yet with this one. How about yourself?

I ride the bike to work everyday so thats why i bought the 954 a little more comfy than riding the newer sports bike.

Re: Hello - My First Honda

yeah its about $400 isnt it? i was thinking about doing that as well but going on holiday and every $ counts.
Probably wait till I get back and see how things are. Yeah the spurs are great but unfortunately when theres a great road everyones there.
Im not into going super quick, knees dragging and alot of idiots think its a race track, so gets pretty crazy sometimes. If you do go there try going during the week because its nice and quite.
