That's pretty much a personal preference comparo... A ducati and a CBR will get around a track in the same time, give or take a second with the same rider...

Based on value, a CBR wins... Based on cool factor, Ducati, hands down...[/QUOTE]

Point taken!

[allblackkat]

bad comparison....

More like comparing a CBR to an RCV212...

All aspects considered or just hp?

CBR > Ducati. Not much of a comparison there...

a CBR 1000RR is a great bike but compare that to a Ducati 1098

Its all relative if you ask me. A 370z is a great car but compare that to a GTR...a CBR 1000RR is a great bike but compare that to a Ducati 1098...I guess its just the nature of the beast.

rode my buddies 1000RR Repsoil edition.....super fast, hugs the road, very mean bike!

[tmk7c9]

Everyone should get a chance to ride a modern liter bike once in their life. It kind of changes your perspective of what "fast" is.

The only thing better is getting to do it on the track. You know it's something special at 140 mph with the front tire skipping along the pavement, and you still have 3 gears left

Don't let it ruin your kat though. You probably paid 1/3 the price of a new CBR1000RR, and they're still a very nice bike. Sure it doesn't have 155 hp or weight 400 lbs, but on the street it doesn't really matter.

My '06 zx10 has probably racked up less than 1000 miles this summer. My '89 Honda Pacific coast? at least 5000, and it's only july. I'll give up HP for a little comfort on the street anyday.

nice info.

[Layinlowstang]

I have rode an 06 with a slip-on myself...WOW what a bike!!!!

[scottynoface]

i have a chance to get a 2005 cbr-1000 with 13,500 miles on it and some tail rash on one side ...its sitting in impound and will be up in 60 days its a long lein 90 days so i will go up to $2200 and i bet i get it . o and comes with a german helmet .... i know 40% if these cbr burn a qt. of oil every 1000 miles .-yes something wrong and alot of guys are mad about it and honda wont take action and blames it on break-in and rider abuse

I've heard about the oil issue. Evidently it's pretty damn common.

[sharpie6]

lets see if your saying that after riding a couple hundred miles on the CBR

Yeah, I did notice how hard the seat was, but i was having so much fun it was the last thing on my mind

[Enjay386]

I rode my boyfriends, it's only a 600, but I thought the same thing. Makes the Katana feel like a tank.
