This was my first sports bike after graduating from a Ninja 250 and Honda VFR. Bought mine with some cosmetic damage for a song. Bike has been dead reliable for 12000+ miles. Performance was incredible in the beginning. Recently did a 520 chain conversion and sprocket change -1/+2 and the flapper mod, the bike was transformed. Power wheelies in first three gears. The bike absolutely rips to redline. Handling is fantastic and rock solid, even in the wet the bike barely twitches or slides. Quality is also very good. I even get about 45mpg. In my opinion the Honda is the best looking (by far) in it's class. This IS the 1000cc sportsbike to have.
Upgrades/Accessories: 520 chain
Regeared -1/+2
Double bubble windscreen (a must have)
Frame sliders and swingarm spools
Flapper mod done
Integrated tailight
