Brand new 08 CBR1000RR for 8900 otd?

I'm conisdering pulling the trigger on this deal. A dealer in my area had 40 of these and now is down to 2. $8900 out the door for an 08 with zero miles. Seems like it's too good to pass up.

I've longed for a cbr1K for some time now due to its light weight, considerable power, and prodigious awesomeness on the twisties; but I'm unsure if I should do this. I wouldn't keep both bikes for too long; I would eventually sell one. If the CBR is not all that I want, I'll sell it. If it's great, I'll sell the VFR. I can't afford both. I love my VFR, but I'm always checking out other bikes -- I think many of us do this. By the way, the VFR has enough power for me, but I'm thinking the CBR would be great for all the canyon riding I do. The only drawback I see about this bike compared to the VFR is that they're a dime a dozen. Oh yeah, the SSSA, centerstand, and V4 are also great on the VFR. However, there are few 5th gen VFRs on the road, although not on this forum!

Convince me either way!!!!

Thanks.

 

FYI, LA Cycle has the 08 for $8,699 OTD :thumbsup:

 

Shawnee Honda in Oklahoma has 08 cbr1k $7200, my buddy just picked up one!!

 

Damn, that's a steal!

 

Out the door?

 

I think so? I bought my vfr from there and wasnt charged any hidden fees. Give them a call this is the link. They are just up the road from me and they had a few on the showroom floor as of 3 days ago.

Honda of Chanute is in Kansas, and has brand new 07 cbr 1k for $6999. I bought a left over 04 vfr from them a few year ago and the price they advertised was out the door price for me. This is there link. If it was me, I would fly in and ride back for that kind of savings.

If I had 7k laying around I would already have one in my garage. I think that Shawnee Honda was also offer 0.96% apr, but im not sure for how long of a term. If you don't do long rides that are greater than 100miles and you ride solo most of the time I would say go get a true RR sport bike, you will enjoy it. I had a R6 and a gsxr-750 both are really fun for short rides but they do wear your butt and wrists out. keep us posted.

 

Have you ever rode a 1k? If not, your really really going to love the amount of power it has. Oh the power!!

 

No, I've never ridden one, but I know I'd like it. I usually only ride about 120 miles on Saturdays and Sundays. $7k for a cbr1K probably the best deal one can find. Thanks for the heads up. The only question is regarding registering an out-of-state bike in California. I think it has to have somewhere around 7.5k miles before you can register it.

 

Dang, I go fast enough on my VFR. I don't need that much power, but I think a 600 may be underpowered. I wonder if it's hard to control the urge to slam the throttle when you have so much power at your disposal. I wish my bike was lighter and had better handling.

 

You would know better than I would about the registration thing. I bought a used Buell from Texas last year and didnt have any trouble transferring it into my name, but im here in Oklahoma and laws are different from state to state. Good luck!!!

 

I'm kinda in the same boat except I already have a CBR and I want a VFR. I posted about LA Cycle because they're the cheapest in SoCal. I'm considering buying a VFR from Southern Honda in TN for $6980. BTW, they have the 08 CBR1000RR for $6980 as well. Apparently, the VFR is 50 state legal so it would be no problem registering in California. As long as the bike is 50 state legal, you should have no problem registering it. Otherwise, you'll have to register it out of state until you get to 7500 miles.

 

Keep the VFR if at all possible. If you dont, sooner or later you will regret letting her go. The vfr is like the girl that is good in bed and still cooks, cleans and will do anything for you, vs the girl that is fantastic in bed but that's all.

 

Could not have said it better!! The best description of a VFR I have seen yet.

 

yeah those girls are a lot of fun, for a few days, but putting up with their shit gets really old quick... lol

 

yea been there done that, I'm happy that I traded my fantastic in bed ex-CBR in for my current VFR that does everything. XD

now i have 2 VFRs =)

except I'm really thinking about that CBR1k now........................the bike of course...........

 

+1......

If money no subject I would get one of each:wink::biggrin:
