Previous motorcycleHonda CBR1000F

Summary:

From canyon carving to touring, the CBR is tough to beat

Faults:

There have been no service issues with any CBR I have owned (this is my fourth).

The cam chain is noisy, but only when cold; sounds great after a warm up.

General Comments:

This is an outstanding all around motorcycle. When you rate handling, braking, etc consider this is a 600lb sport bike that is almost 20 years old. It doesn't do anything exceptional, but from short trips around the block to cross country rides, this bike handles it all.

It could use more wind protection, but compared to other sport bikes, it has plenty. I have seen some replacement windscreens that look like they would correct the problem, but I have never used one.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Can anyone tell me what other complete fairing kits will fit on my 1991 Honda CBR 1000f?

The Givi windshield does wonders, and really helps.

I love my '91. I had a '90 about 15 years ago. I got the itch for another CBR1000F & found one. I added 3/4 Genmar Bar Riser Bushings, a Tourmaster Cortech Tail bag with matching side bags (RED), a throttle lock and some new Michelin Pilot Road tire. Then the fun began. I rode from Southern Illinois to Charlotte, North Carolina by way of the Smokie Mountains. A great performing bike, and very comfortable.

Faults:

None to date other than preventive maintenance.

General Comments:

Not recommended for beginners. Brutally quick and fast, yet comfortable enough for a long ride. Handles extremely well.

No question with Honda's reputation for bulletproof reliability and build quality. I would definitely buy another one.

Hi there, I live in Spain too and wondered how much you paid for your bike? Prices here are a bit 'different' let's say.

To answer your question, how much did I pay? $2,800.00 US Dollars. Prices will vary depending on the mileage and condition of the bike...

I live in South Africa and have just bought a CBR1000F for r35000-00. I think its the best buy I could have done. I love my bike and it handles perfect. I'm not very big built and in the beginning I was scared of it, until I got to know the bike. It's just fun.

I would also like to hear from other people that have a CBR1000F, please e-mail me at maintosure@yahoo.com. Thanks.
