It was Hondas attempt to take advantage of the 2 cylinder rule advantage back when 4 cylinder bikes were limited to 750ccs.

$11k Is it gold plated? The bike was 10K new!

Damn...

I should have held onto my RC...LOL

FYI, I sold mine for $7900 last fall, loaded with goodies. Similar deals are out there. Good place to look is the classifieds on Speedzilla.com
There's a dedicated RC51 message board there as well as a dedicated Honda classifieds section.
Another source of RC51.org but you have to join. Incredible site dedicated to the RC51. They have a classified section there too. Lots of fully modded bikes for much less than $11K

Another bike to look at is the Aprilia Mille Factory. Same concept, nicer machine.

So is it an 06 or an 07?

And what da hell is wrong with it since he's selling it for $4000 with motor work??? Thats about $4000+ less than what its worth.

Something sounds fishy.

drpsycho · 03-28-2008, 03:48 PM

he's a good freind of mine and has both an 05 600 and 06 1000. he was talking about selling me the 600 for $4000 but another guy whants it realy bad so he whanted o make it right with me so he's giving me the 1000 for the same price and he's getting a new 08 1000.

A liter bike for your first street bike? Be careful man, you should go for the 600 instead.

BoRkA · 03-28-2008, 04:35 PM

dude, i really hope that this is not your first bike?! CBR1000 is NOT a good first bike and in my opinion not even a good SECOND bike.

im not gonna preech safety to you, as im assuming that you know that a 1000cc bike has more power than some cars do, and it weights 1/10th of a cars weight.

remember that its more fun to ride a slow bike fast, then a fast bike slow.
