honda newb

Signed up because I just bought an '07. I normally just lurk on forums but I am a complete newb to Honda and the superbike class so I figured I could use some advice. I have the red/black and damn it is pretty. I have never owned a honda before only kawasaki's. I have always respected hondas becauses I thought that if a company can make everything from weedeaters to F1 cars they must be good engineers. I am still breaking it in(250 miles). I have always heard people refer to motorcycles scaring them and never REALLY understood why. I do now. This thing is crazy. I only go to 5k amybe 6k but the throtle response on it is f'ing amazing. Enough about that. Right now I am looking for a cover, cowl and advice.

Justin

Re: honda newb

to the board.

I suggest Honda accessories for your cover and cowl. I have the Honda Cover and it ****in Rocks. I have one for both my 07 1KRR's.
Damn I wish I had a picture on the cover on the bike. Sorry

Re: honda newb

if you're looking for a cowl.. i recommend spending the little extra to get the OEM one.. the looks are above and beyond targa's by a long shot.. or check out eurobikes.com there's a nice too..

Re: honda newb

Yes go with the OEM cowl it looks great and works well.

Welcome and just wait the bike will really turn on up around 8K and yes you can ride it there all day long remember this is not a kwai this bike will run forever.
