found that with the first sit and reach there was a certain feel of stability and control that the 954 had a minor lack there of. on the 954 you feel a few air pocket holes inside the central mass upon planting in the cockpit and stabalizing the bike. and I immediately knew that the 1kRR was everything the 954 needed to be and of course, a factor that has yet to be seen by any of us mere mortals the Power it will produce will surpass the 954 that's been piped and programed. A true marvel of a machine that will not only deliver. It will Satisfy.



enough of all that ....sheeeeeiat!
on with the pics :!:

pardon me if they suck but hey... I'm only a moron. :nerd:

gnt you lucky basaturd!!! :wink: getting to sit on the 1krr was the only reason i drove 2 hours to dallas :x :x i likes the slvr/blk combo.....maybe i'm partial. :P so it felt pretty good huh? how'd the weight feel? i know it was dry, but did it feel flickable?

very nice post :D

My body swallowed it up immediately. It was the best balanced bike I've ever picked up and sat on... When you hold it you can feel a solid mass ready for the fetul psition to paint itself over the ergos and when you put down the kickstand and put both feet on the pegs and hug it you have Way better maneuver ergos .

Whatever the 954 was lacking in a solid massed feel and royal ease of controls and feel this 1kRR makes up for and inspires superb confidence with the first feel.
When I first got the 954 I felt good on it, good enough to crab walk it through a sweeper at 130 from the mold release on the tires within the first 2 miles of operation. I would attack the same curve on the 1kRR at 150 no problem.
With this bike Stuna's video would be indicating top governer speed repeatidly.

ohhh and on the buell thing... Yes that bike can do that at speeds of 130mph and higher since I played cat and mouse with one last year :lol: I was banking hilled turns with apex exited wheelies at 145mph and the guy was keeping up... even when I was baggin over 165 he did good. You'de be surprised what the right rider on any bike can do.

glad you all enjoyed the pics :D

I guess why the American color/graphics are always better that the European :x ....we do not have the Black/Red Fireblade1000 with the black wing on fairing...I think Honda Europe did a mistake.

ohhh. to really answer your question jimmy is that you Do feel the weight it's gained from the 954 but it's useable weight as I described above. I still was able to wide leg it and thwap it around under me with my hands off the bars. That was the second thing I did after I planted in the cockpit :D
Guy walking by said 'slow down there...', I looked up through my eyebrows and gave an evil giggle :twisted:
