Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

I'd get the Honda but it looks so shit. I loved the 08 kwakka but I can't get anyone who's wheelied it enough to see If the output shaft cracks the cases like the 04 05's. Any more info about the 08 models would help. :cheers

Honda for sure.

Some people think it's ugly, but it grows on you. Sit on one and you'll be sold. Ride one down the street and you'll be sold twice.

I got the kawasaki but I'm biased, I will list the cliff notes for all the bikes:
Honda: Good mid range, decent looks (I like the look now), good handling/brakes, shit-ass clutches, know of two locally that have clutches that rattle so bad they have eaten up the clutch baskets
Kawasaki: Ugly, Brakes are kinda poor, Fastest, Rides decent wheelies for sure
Yamaha: Slowest, most outdated, throttle by wire sucks from what I hear
Suzuki: GSXR=weak

Are you talking the clutches on the 08 Hondas? With the cable clutch? I haven't heard anything about them :shruggs

I heard of two, one of which being a guy I ride with pretty regularly. He is a tech for Ron Ayers, his clutches as well as a customer's were making a lot of noise, so the Honda rep told him to pull his apart so they could see what the problem was. The clutches had been rattling around loose in the basket and had already worn very deep grooves after less than 1k miles. I know it's not from abuse b/c he actually rides pretty easy for the most part. I don't know all the details, but the Honda was also a consideration when I was shopping for a liter, and about a week after getting my 10, another one of my tech buddies that works there called and told me I should be glad I didn't get the Honda because of that problem and the Honda rep didn't know how to fix it.

What?? the brakes kick ass!!

[QUOTE=thehate.;3449214]What?? the brakes kick ass!![/QUOTE]

Bull, go to zx-10r.net and see if everyone doesn't agree with me. After 1-2 hard stops (ie-track type riding or aggressive street riding) the brake lever will go all the way to the grips, it's a problem in the calipers from what I hear, replacing the calipers with zx-14, zx-6, or 1krr calipers solves the problem.

edit: I see you have an 08, not trying to start any problems between us with this post, us 08 owners got to stick together haha.

Did they ban you because you like to do wheelies? I started a thread up there when I got my new 636, said it was gonna be a stuntbike and they acted like I was an idiot for not making it an all-out trackbike.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

no cuz one of the mods is a dick bag "BD"

the 08 1000rr is lighter than the 08 600rr.. I hated the looks at first but know I kinda dig'em.. :YEAH

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

all the bikes have there flaws. just pick the one you see your self riding more. no matter what you will be putting money in to all of them.....just my 2 cents

Dude I work with has one. I've wanted one from the minute I first sat on it.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

WOW!! 5 people actually chose that ugly piece of shit new cbr 1000rr. Well i guess what they say is true, every mouldy bread has its mouldy cheese!

Ive had nothing but hondas since my r1 in 2002 but you couldnt pay me to take that new 1000. Its like the designers were making a joke, and someone at the meeting didnt get it & went ahead making the piece of shit!

Theres absolutely no excuse for the bike to have been made that ugly, it doesnt matter what the performance is like.

and does anyone know of an 08 gsxr1000 with a cracked frame from wheelies? No I didnt think so, so stop making generic statements based on previous models.

Some people? what do you mean Some? who r these people who think it looks good?

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

I love it

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

having ridden them all including the 1098 back to back, the Honda is the best bike by quite a bit IMO. Kawi is a close second while the yami and gixx feel outdated. Duck was sick but its no streetbike.

Check out the newest issue of SSB (if its out) with full feature on the big 4

Honda may b ugly but not from the cockpit!

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

the new RR is a great looking bike,and yes once you sit on one your sold....i love the zx10's but that 08 upper looks redonkulous!!! any and all wheelie just fine...so pick your poison!!

maybe YOU should get a life, mine's sick! ride bikes all day and collect a paycheck:YEAH

just bc i like to play devils advocate doesnt mean i'm whining...but i'll let you hate, bc afterall, it is 08!

raise your hand if you think i should stop being so nice all the time and start being an asshole and putting stupid people in their places.:YEAH

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

mines up!!!!

lol i dontlike ANY of the litre bikes....i went back to my old shop and rode the zx, rr, and gixxer,
the honda felt amazing, and if your actually ridin the thing you shouldnt be lookin at it too often anyway...but it sure is ugly as hell...

the kawi felt a lot more liek the o4-o5's, as in it was not all fat and bulky feeling like the o6-o7.....plus i htink it got its balls back

the gixxer....well i dunno...just feels like a gixxer....

id take the honda if i had to...but i will never buy a litre bike again....:2cents

Yep. I see one here at work everyday and I like it a little more everytime I see it. I'd get one if I was in the market for a new liter bike for sure.


For now, I'm sticking with my 954 though

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?
 

Nahh teach your just very disrespectful. especially to a few poeple i know. Which is why i stated my opinion.


I think the gixxers are the best of 08..
