I don't think I have the experience required to wright up a proper review for a bike like that, simply cos I never got a chance to ride the other bikes of this category for any longer then 20 km. So ill just share my feelings.



IT IS **** AWESOME. The power seems endless (somewhat thanks to unset suspension), and It does feel like a blade cutting through the road. Any turns, any camber, any road. I had a longer ride with BIGBOSMAN and Biggles08 the other day and i never could have imagined how easy it is to ride that thing fast. No **** it is fast, i was expecting it to be, but what surprises me the most is how accessible and fun it is. It is very stable in the corners, yet it is shorter then any other 1000cc inline 4 sport bike. There are not enough "o's" in Smoooooooth to describe how smooth the bike is.



On the other note I have read another forums and they indicate that there is a bit of a problem with the new cbrs burning oil. Mine burnt some at the beginning but now it seems it have stopped to do so. I really pray for it to be not spoiled cos I don't want another bike. Even if they refund it, i wouldn't know what to do. I like other bikes, but I really love this one for how friendly it is, and for me going to any other model would be a bit of a back step. So I just keep monitoring the oil... I just hope she will be fine.



So I've come up with a short list of proscons with around 700km on the bike.



Pros:

POWER POWER POWER

0-100 in under 3 seconds (couldn't test it cos i nearly fainted accelerating that fast ), wheels in 4th gear, rolls in 1st with no gas and clutch engaged.

Terribly easy to ride very fast.

Feels comfy for what it is (i had bad back pain at the beginning but they are gone after a few days)

Brakes are insane, sometimes it feels like you've hit some gel pillow rather then used your brakes.

Feels incredibly light in turns n such. The lightest Japanise 1k sport bike.

There is a storage space for at least a can of Red Bull.

Looks AWESOME in flesh. Specially in the colour i got it.

Has a cool character

Puts a massive grin on your face every time you ride it.

Increase sexual appeal.

Turns heads big time.



Cons:

Gets hot FAST. Standing at the street lights in the rain will make you look like a steam train. Literally gets soo steam, all the rear view mirrors, the clock and the screen get foggy.

Smells like burnt oil every time you stop. Hmmmmm...

Stock Ugly long rear licence holder that I changed to a small one was actually blocking off the durtdust. Now my back looks like I ride on the back wheel with my arse.

Its a bit heavy to carry to your bed on the second floor.

Its cold to sleep in the garage.

Increases sexual appeal, but the bike is not yours!

No one is looking at the road cos they are looking AT YOU!

PS I HAVE SOME PHOTOS, BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD EM!

I am not sure who to trust. I know not to trust any sources from eithre Russia or Georgia at the moment, as they both seem to be contradicting each other.

From what I have gathered, this is what happened:

•1. Georgia attacks South Ossetians to gain control

•2. Russia attacks Georgia for attacking S. Ossetians

•3. Georgia attacks Russia in response

•4. Russia attacks back, and is now attacking other parts of Georgia

•5. Georgia attacks Russia back

•6. Russia is now encouraging Ahkarzbia or whatever that place is to rebel from Georgia

I dont see how any of this would benefit the US however.

I very recently found this. It seems to contain quite a lot of info and a lot of stuff I had already confirmed from other sources, so I think it's reliable.

Read all the sources in that article. It contains quite a lot of info about what happened before Georgia decided to shell South Ossetia.

What a bunch of anti-american BS. Russia has no business bombing civilian cities.jointed

See your media got it wrong again. Russians were bombing altilery positions of georgian army, while georgians bombed civilian objects.

No its more like

1. seperatist in south osettia create violence

2. Georgian forces try to stop them

3. Russia comes to the aid of south ossetia because they feel its part of russia

4. Russian and Georgian forces clash.

The US is on Georgia's side or at least bush is. We are helping bring their troops back from iraq to fight russia. There is also a small Us prsence to help with the peace there. Georgia isnt very strong militarily and cannot fight off russia on their own. The US may help them

freshgman

So USA can help them FIGHT? Do you read what you wright? We dont need anyone to help them fight, we need them to stop fighting.

What a dumb argument. Its all about USA on this one. We talked about it here

Georgia has asked US for help. Thats what happened. They picked the fight with the wrong guy and they expect the big brother to come help them out.

its a bit more complicated than that...Russian Separatists in the region are partly to blame...they counted on Georgia over reacting and now that Georgia has Russia has the perfect excuse to steamroll the region and take a couple of provinces back.

Bloody hell people wake up.

Since all the US media is corrupt, it cant be corrupt for no reason. If there is nothing for USA there how come they are so interested in the whole thing? Why does US media set you people against Russia? Take EU for example, they are simply against war, where is USA against Russia on this one...

Anyway how does US benefit from this?

They have been notorious to get there military equipment aimed at Russia for a while now. First in check republic then it was in Belgium. Fast to forget that aren't you?

Well now with Georgia they have a real opportunity to finally set up a proxy spy in that area which they can control. I'm not sure what specifically they are looking for, but they are looking for something.

Second benefit, USA has a piss poor reputation in the world atm, people generally hate America for the war in Iraq, therefore it would be a slick move for them to draw the attention of the public away, say point on Russia.

Like people have been asking, "how come Russian army was at the Georgian door in one night?" HELLO, THEY ARE IN CLOSE GEOGRAPHICAL PROXIMITY.

Next one. I'm over 18 and like many other people i believe 9/11 was an inside job. General demand for evidence was never satisfied. It was all clumsy, and it all led to unjustified and avoidable war. So Bush is a total dick, given alternatives he picked to just go to war. He is a criminal by that.

Now Ill say it again, Georgian president is very related to USA, he was educated in USA and had connections there BEFORE he became Georgian president.

And finally WHY THE HELL DO YOU ARGUE WITH ME? Firstly you all say that US media is total BS, yet then you say how it is more correct then German or Russian media. That hypocritical, you don't even know what they are saying there, you can possibly judge it, where as i can understand both, therefore i can evaluate them.

[QUOTE="Saturos3091"]The OP's argument is nothing more than interesting speculation at best. Until facts start coming in I'm going to be relying on European news to give me the impression of what things are like over there.Superbored

Lol, yeah, I don't even know why i'm fighting with this idiot. I'll rely on my Canadian news :P And not some crazy guy on the internet :roll:

If you really thing that a small weak georgia would attack Russia JUST ON ITS OWN, then you must really be a half brained.

I thought this whole thing started when Georgia tried to gain control of S.O., which as far as I understand was succeeded to them by the Russians. Russia then went in to "defend" S.O. and the two are now fighting. Anyone with half a brain would retaliate when getting fired upon. I mean you just expect Georgians to throw down their arms in the face of the Russian army and bend over?

Exactly my point was that US media makes it look like Russia attacked Georgia in first place. And that Russia is the main cause of this war. US government is on the side of Georgia, similar way that USSR was on the side of Vietnam back then.

They attacked a province which they consider rightfully theirs.

They had this thing going for many years now. The timeline of events goes to show that Georgia got approval AND support of the US government just after the global forum. They say they fight for the democracy, yet the CIVILIANS of that area never had much trouble living together. There was no problem in the first place. The whole thing there is the fight for the ruler and the place in NATO, this war is NOT to protect Georgian people, like Georgian president says but to murders them, and the point the finger at Russia.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Fruity_mixer"]

Well generally it goes that US promised Georgia place in NATO, since they need a country to be their agent in that region. To get that place georgia will do anything US notes them to.

During all the presentations of Georgian president, you can notice flags of EU behind his back. Georgia is NOT a part of EU, they are just putting those flags on the back to attract attention of the general public. Like it is Russia vs EU.

Frattracide

Yeah, we've had this conversation. . .

US doesn't, but the US government...
