Quick Escape From Rain
There was no rain in the forecast for the next several days and then a storm snuck in on us. I’m a big bike nerd and any day you can ride a bike is really a good day, so I took the CBR1000rr out just long enough to warm up the engine. In the downtown Dallas area you can’t really get out of second gear without earning a free ride to jail, so it was fairly mellow with just a couple of short blasts up some of the side roads.
Overall I love the 2007 CBR1000. It’s an amazing bike. I’ve owned a 2008 model and this one is a 2007. It’s the older body style. It’s a bit bigger (longer) and heavier. I’m tall at 6 foot 7 inches so this one fits much better for me than the 2008 model.
This bike is silky smooth and wicked fast. It’s got a hydraulic clutch which is just so easy to use. You can pretty much take off at a stop sign without using the throttle if you just ease out on the clutch. It’s a smooth but super fun bike to ride, with plenty of power to get you in serious trouble.
