Have read the reviews saying the engine is unexciting to ride. I think if you ride lots of bikes you become more fussy - all I can say is that the power delivery is linear and until you hit 8K and then it picks up rapidly. The power is exhilarating but always feels controllable and the bike remains easy to ride. Standing quarter matches GSXR so its no slouch. Personally I think the power of a cc is perfect for road use as cc sports bikes can only be thrashed on the track.
Went for a Honda due to renown build quality. Unfortunately generator failed 2 months out of warranty at miles so loses a star. Otherwise, very happy with the quality of finish - ridden daily through one winter so far and still looking like new after a bit of TLC. Needs a service every miles and getting about 40 - 45 mpg so not the cheapest bike to run.
There's no traction control or other electronic rider aids with the exception of ABS. The ABS works well and I like the dual wheel control for stability.
There's a factory immobiliser but not a lot else. The storage in under the pillion seat and is tiny. My bike is fully standard except for bobbins i've fitted for the rear paddock stand. Using Bridgestone Battlax and very happy with these, both in the wet and dry.
All in all not a lot of gizmos, just an honest bike that's lots of fun. Buying experience: Bought from Bob Minnion in Derby - really friendly and accommodating service and I would definately buy from them again.
I can't believe how good my RR is. I tried a lot of bikes like the triumph daytona and the honda rr blows them away IMO. Don't hesitate just buy one. This bike is great to ride, very fast, and perfect handling, great torque.
BUT i have had problems, the black powder coating is comming off the rear swing arm, so the silver is showing through. My local dealer Branson Honda will not help, and have no interest. Honda UK will not help so my warranty is worth nothing. I am gonna have to buy a new rear swing arm, very expensive. The fairing is very flimsy, with many silly clips, the paintwork is so thin, that any small chipping will remove the white paint work and leave a black mark.
Any owners of the CBRF will be dissapointed with the quality, but the ride is good. Do not buy, thinking a Honda is reliable, because if it isn't Honda will not be interested.
Anymore info i will be happy to pass on much more information!!! I can only say it's got smaller, so much so that for a tall lad over 6 foot after 10 mins I couldn't wait to get off. Everything hurt - ankles, back, wrists, neck.
Nice little bike, mind. Goes where you point it. Ride's not bad for such a track-focused bike. Really good engine too. So tall blokes - forget it. This followed on from a RR7 which was a superb machine to own. As you will no doubt know the changes are miminal with slightly re-designed lower fairing panels covering more of the engine, different indicators and more mid range grunt. I wasn't too sure if the extra grunt was noticeable but now the bike is run in, I would say yes, it has more mid range grunt but I was very impressed with the RR7 so this is even better.
This was the first time that I had just updated to a newer model, usually I have a total change but the RR is such a great bike to ride, it's not often I don't have a smile on my face whilst I'm on it. MCN have pretty much said all you need to know about this fantastic bike and I'd agree with the lack of slipper clutch but that's a small issue that most of us probably don't need in every day use.
The economy seems similar to the RR7, around 45mpg for me and the ear bleeding exhaust note that I suffered with at rpm on the RR7 whilst driving through the local roads seems to have been muffled on the RR Overall a great machine that I highly recommend you try and see how easy and fun they are to ride. Was it worth moving from a RR7 to a RR10? Well financially probably not but the classy tricolour version I have is even more stunning than the blue and white version it replaced.
I bought the honda from Al-futtaim Dubai on the 5th of November, got it delivered to my address in Pakistan on the 27th. From that day on, i have ridden its bike daily, for work, for km trips and for general blast around the city. The bike will never disappoint you. Its fast and if driven responsibly, its too much joy for the money.
The low weight is impressing, On the road: On urban rides its comfortable and agile. Whenever it has to be parked, its extremely light. It may serve for urban commuting, it will not get tiring. In traffic the steering lock is quite good. Filtering will not be a problem either.
On B-roads its very agile, rider may ride sight seeing or at a pace, the CBR will not rush things. At a higher pace, the very sharp steering geometry is evident, it's easy and balanced, it gives the impression of lack of inertia.
Engine revs should be kept higher than for a pace like this. Not wanting to be left behind, or look like a loser, they invariable push harder than they are comfortable with. If you ride above the limit of your current skill level, it will not take much to make a mistake. And at the speeds you will likely be going, you are taking a serious risk. So many new riders have ended up under a car or over a cliff by going into a corner to hot and not making the turn.
Or not paying attention and slamming into a car pulling out of a side street. Rather take your time and let the others laugh at you or ride with people that are also just starting out.
If you notice this happening, just imagine how uncool you will look when you crash. You will undoubtedly want to know what it feels like if you push a bit harder.
I waited for a long piece of straight road and opened the throttle not even fully! With tall grass on either side of the road I very quickly reined in the speed lest a rabbit or a deer jump out in front of me. Many riders choose sports bikes because they are MotoGP fans. You are not Valentino Rossi and the public road is not the same as a race track. The guys that make it look so easy when pulling away at a traffic light have been doing so for many years.
Most of them first learned how to get the wheel up on a dirt bike. You WILL flip the bike and land on your ass! As you read through the various motorcycle forums you will find many accounts of riders who started out on a CBR RR. And they are not on the internet to tell their story.
It may not seem as cool as a CBR RR, but it is a much better idea to start out on a smaller second-hand bike. With very little power and a 6-speed gearbox I could race it flat out through all the gears. With my little experience with sports bikes, it was the perfect bike to learn how to ride a bike to its limits.
In a mountain pass you need to keep the engine near the red line to keep moving and you need a long straight to reach a top speed of just over 90 mph.
If you are not set on a sports bike for you first motorcycle, a dual sport is not a bad place to start. You might even decide that the ability to go off road is more fun. I immediately fell in love with dual sport riding and never looked back. It is so easy to learn bad habits on a bike.
Rather do it right from the start and take a rider training course to learn how to safety ride and stop a motorcycle in traffic. When you are still learning how to control the clutch when pulling away and how to stop safely without falling over, stay off the public roads.
