Hey guys whats up? im new to this forum and have a question. I came from an 06 GSXR 600 and just bought an 06 CBR 1000RR:kickass1: blue/ yellow. Im a big guy 6'4 280 lbs and i was just wondering how fast this should go with me on it? I also just moved to sarasota Florida so if anyone wants to ride let me know I dont have anyone to ride with and it gets boring after a while.

Welcome to the fourm bud. Shit, I used to live in Bradenton, which is right up the street from ya. Trust me, there's a shit ton of riders in florida. I'm sure you'll catch up with guys in no time.


As for the weight issue and i'm no expert, the bike will still be fast enough for ya. Down there, there are plenty of cops and they love going after crotch rockets.

I have hit the rev limiter stock at 260 lbs. You should be able to top it out, plenty fast enough. Welcome!
