Bike rides fantastic handles like its on Rails it corners where you want it to go smooth transmission does good wheelies the brakes are awesome very comfortable my bike is white in colour 2009 model the performance is outstanding it's light in weight being a 1000cc it has power from the beginning to the end the midrange power is awesome it just keeps pulling my first gear revs out to 177

Absolutely a great all ground bike. It can be used daily as a commute or weekend fun. The mid range is awesome. I see other manufacturers looking at doing more with their mid range. It is really a 5 star bike, but i am taking one off because of the brake feel.
The abs is the best i have ever used, but comes at a price. The brake feel on this bike is terrible. The brake level's travel various depends on the type of braking you are doing. It feels spongy most times. It is simply not a good feel.

Love the bike, easier to ride than my R1 which I owned previously, the R1 had more power, but not as easy to ride as the CBR in my opinion, the CBR has enough power and it can do some amazing things on a race track, it has more than enough power to satisfy any road going biker, I like the looks of the 07 CBR 1000RR better than the 08. It has an exceptional gear box and the brakes are great, be sure to put a decent set of tyres on it.
Reliable hassle free motorcycle, Good looks
Sounds a bit weak in comparison to Ducati or R1

After owning many motorcycles, mainly Suzuki's i ended up buying the 2008 CBR1000RR two weeks after its release in Australia.
Honda motorcycles just have a better feel and finish in my opinion.
The only mods i have done is fitted braided brake lines (from www.motorcycleracegear.com.au) and made a smaller fender eliminator.
Other then that, everything else is stock.
Recommend highly:)
Fast, reliable, looks hot

Cracking bike - superbly built. Looks great. dead easy to ride. very fast. The front end if superb, great feel and confidence inspiring.

However, its a bit too perfect. It lacks engine 'personality'. The R1 looks better and feels faster. But its still a great bike.
Great styline - its a handsome bike. Handling is fabulous. Fast without being intimidating - it fact its faster than it feels
Its a bit quiet (needs a pipe) and the engine is a bit too civilised

Best bike I've ever ridden.Have being riding 30 years & also roadrace.
Note this is a sports bike NOT a commuter or tourer.
Just do it you won't be disappointed.
Handles like a dream. Goes goes and goes.
Maybe too powerful for inexperienced riders.
Overall a sensational bike.
Difficult to remove pillion pegs.
Standard pipe looks bad.
