Appreciate you addressing the heat and engine noise, and the normal rider perspective. I have a 2T for gnarly trail riding and a literbike for speed and sharpness, and I'm looking at this as a middle bike, between those extremes, and with touring chops and comfort, including the ability to stand and unkink the old hips and get some airflow down below. I like the looks of it (Expedition looks better in many ways, IMO), especially the headlights, but I'm still leaning Transalp because it supposedly doesn't throw much heat on the rider. I'd go electric for the low heat and noise, but they're overpriced and I want a commuter-tourer that can handle a fire road and sub-gnarly trails and long range / quick fillups (without being too expensive or heavy, but maybe heavy enough to handle medium crosswinds on the freeway). The only thing going for this over the Transalp for me is the suspension. My 2T has WP something and it's very plush and progressive, so I have some faith in that, but on the other hand maybe for the intended use I wouldn't even be pushing the ostensibly lame Transalp suspension. I just don't know, haven't ridden either bike. My local Honda dealer is actually a KTM dealer who has no Huskies and no Transalps, but the local Yamaha dealer has Norden 901s but no Expeditions -- for those you have to go to the Triumph dealer, go figure. I'm not sure the skid plate, livery, windshield, and suspension are worth blowing up the budget. And I have a major problem with features needing to be "unlocked". Mostly, I wish manufacturers would pay much closer attention to heat management at all speeds and duration of riding. I'm going to be very careful this time not to buy another nut-roaster (or a roaster of any other body part)! And I don't want to buy a new bike and immediately have no choice but to put a full system on it or replace midpipe and wrap it in ugly heat tape or anything like that. It's hot enough with the air temp high, I don't need the bike helping me toward heat stroke. Anyway, thanks for the video, it has been helpful.

2009 is fantastic all preceding are not very good until 2024 which blows the rest. 2023 is not a good bike, gearing all wrong

I want buy that bike to. But i think about expedition model.

So i randomly found you and your videos tonight which is extremely weird. Thats because i was on Beach st at the QT where yall where in one of your videos. Not only are you near where I live and work but I just bought a 2006 CBR 1000rr at DFW Honda. Its not my first bike nor is it my first 1000rr. In fact i have had 3 - 2007 CBR 1000rr, 2 Of them were stolen, one I looped on the highway in Florida. Now to get to the point LOL. My last 1000rr was stolen 12.5 years ago. I had a few bikes that just never fit or sat right with me. I am not saying the 06/07 1000rr is the greatest bike because i know its not but it was and is the bike for me personally and what you said about how the connection with the bike and tje road helps with mental stress is exactly how i feel but with this particular model. I think its important for people to find what helps them alleviate there stress. It doesnt have to be a motorcycle or a vehicle but i would say to those out there to not laugh at or knock someone that says it helps them. You dont have to understand or like motorcycles to be understanding that it helps someone. I really like your videos. Please keep on making them and I hope to see you on the road.. P.S. my wife is a Service manger at a motorcycle dealership , she and I are both certified motorcycle mechanic, and use to be Factory Ducati, BMW, and Triumph. My wife currently rides a KTM 390 Duke.

You should buy it.

That slalom thing you're doing in the interstate makes everyone think you're re tar ded.

Mr. Delusional on his bagger.

I feel it 😅

I only need one weapon in my life, and its a Honda

I bought an 06 cbr1k as my first ever street bike.. For most it would have been a death sentence, but I grew up racing dirt bikes since the age of 7 & being 6'2" tall, I really didn't want a 600cc bike.. Def lucky to have survived it in my 20's.. I still have it today, all stock xcept full yoshi system, k&n, & old PC5.. For the last 10yrs or so, I have put about 50mi on it a year. Never selling it, as they have never gotten any better, in my opinion, only gotten worse with all the "modes" and nannies ect.. Like you neighbor, I'm 43 and enjoy my comfy Street Glide much more.. I only ride it for 20 or so mins a year for shits a giggles.. or a quick trip to town and back..

How about the gas consumption of this bike?

I have the exact same bike with 37k on it it’s still a monster

How tall are you?

Haha you are not even in the powerband. Its nice right

Also there’s a reason why rossi did so well on that bike

If i had extra money laying around I’d buy one. These are heritage bikes from a golden era

Buy it!!!🏁🏁🏁

it's shaking bcuz the suspension is out of wack it hasn't been tuned to rider. Wheel bearings can also cause the shakes. It'll feel bumpy in the bars but you shouldn't be death gripping em either. Some guys like to remove the weights out the bars and that ruins the balance.

Ay man they sell thermal base layers... it'll keep you warm. lol and yeah you better respect a 1KRR, it'll kill you if you don't and if you truly know the experience you'll never really hit your throttle, it's a tiny PINCH and you're in the 100+ within 2nd gear.. .

guarantee that clutch is BURNT

Do you have a PC or Bazzaz unit to correct the AFR on it? If not, do it and then you'll see what the beast can do. It was a completely different rowdy raped ape...just a beast...BEAST! I love my older sportbikes...all the hand holding rider aids is just killing the true joy of riding these days. I love my 06, Candy Blue & Yellow. I heard they only made 500 of them in honor of Rossi. Either way, once you had a full Arrow Race Exhaust and correct the AFR, it goes...plenty quick/fast enough. I enjoy the quick blast out of corners more than straight line speeds these days. It's just Honda perfection. Man, I want to get out on it now. LOL

I love my 2007 CBR1000RR ... lowered with a power commander3....ove it's D&D exhaust.

Have an 04 took the power commander out and it ran better at all Rpm's. I do have 5 other bikes but I know for sure I'll keep this old girl until I'm dead or she is.

I’m about to buy a cbr1000rr 2004 with 18k miles on it for 6000$ should I buy or pass? Currently ride a ninja 650

just picked one of these up and I love it. decent torque down low and really opens up up top. timeless design and no electronics getting in your way. prime honda

Dude vfr’s are pretty fun to ride and rc-51 if you get a chance .

I have same bike since 2018 and I love that thing even same color

I love how this thing idle

you have music

I have a 2000 750 with a 2003 Gsxr 750 motor , I’ve been debating selling it for the past week or so to get a liter bike , Iam mentally stuck though 😅

I know everybody likes to go on about Suzuki k5, but in 2006 Honda in super bike won 5 races and finished 2nd in the championship. Most riders will never get the full ability out of these 1000 cc monsters.

I have ridden superbikes since they became a thing. From 600 ninjas too GSXR1100, My last bike a GSXR1000/2007 was a Rocket ship, 180+mph stock. The surprising thing was how many members of well-known Biker clubs, wanted to look at it and sit on it. The common thread was. " I wanted that bike ever since I was a kid." I'm 65 and now own a Ninja 1000sx, although powerful and more comfortable than true race replicas, I've been looking at a 2009 CBR1000R Repsol.

the best era and back when streetbikes sport bikes didn't cost a fortune, less than $11000 new . 2003 to 2008. These days prices have doubled. I would enjoy seeing you "highway racers" do some twisting roads or the race tracks, like these bike where designed for. I would bet that over 75% would crash out

How about a spare tire?

I just bought mine a couple weeks ago, unfortunately with winter hitting I only got 200 miles on it, but love it so far. Traded in a '22 MT 09 SP and '21 KLX 300, it seems to fill both needs. I had the same issue with my MT, it begged to be ridden like I shouldn't be riding. At over 50 years old, it really brought out my immature side.. and not in a safe way.

Names of the songs pls

I own a 2006 cbr1000rr drop 2 in and stretch 6 full drag race ready do you know what it really feels like to know you are the baddest person on the road?.... Knowing there's no car no truck no bike that can touch you that feeling is truly priceless no matter how big your dick is or how small

It's been over a year since you've bought this RV. How's it held up? Any complaints?

Bro i was going to buy one but i just found how it doesn't has abs, what SHOULD i do??

Man I have an 05 600RR and it gets people DROOLING over it every time I go out. The design of these bikes is timeless. They will forever be good looking. Beautiful bikes!

I just bought a 2009 CBR1000RR last spring and damn I love that bike! I know what you mean by tippyness, those Hondas just suck themselves into corners, they feel so nimble.

Just found an 07 with 8k miles, you think 6500 is worth it??

I'm thinking about buying one soon. But the 07 because the swingarm is black.

What sliders are rhose?

I have the blue/yellow 2006 cbr1000rr. I have had other 1000's and this is by far the best bike with the most "f"u power and handling. (YOU CAN'T RIDE MAD). You could/will hurt yourself and the one you love (the bike). I changed the sprockets in the front and rear so 100 mph is 2-1/2 seconds away. Top speed is ONLY 130. Oh well. You have to be able to do 50 chin ups to be strong enough to hold on or you will be "in the air" like willey coyote when the rocket takes off. I'm way too old to be on a crotch rocket but i can give it up. It's better than a hot girlfriend. It puts a smile on my face "every day", even when its raining.

I've got the 07 with the same fairings, serious nuclear warhead on wheels, I take my 06 1000rr track bike to Phillip island, my 08 cbr600rr is also insane

Pablo I have a question, looks like my inverter look like is not working at all, looks like is connected to the batteries but no power, any ideas of what may be going on? Thanks

Fake mustache

I'm having a goood day sir, same wishes to you. GOOD video :D
