Title: Opinions??????
Post by: spc on September 23, 2007, 07:05:39 PM
What do y'all think of the old CBR1000F's??
I found one pretty cheap, with relatively low mileage, that sounds pretty nice.
It's actually at a dealer and they have all of the service records on it :thumb:
The only problem with it is the plastics are old and a little beat up,  though the original stickers are on there and there appears to be no rash.....
I know it's a heavier bike, but it's not that heavy, and the power numbers on it are decent once you open it up on the air filter and exhaust.
So has anyone here ridden or owned one??

Yeah,  I'm seeing people with 200k miles on em :o :o  and no major maintenance :o
I saw it online but they didn't have the price listed, so I figured I go by and see it and check on price.
