Took her out for her first proper ride in a long time
T he bike had 2680KM when i bought. Under 3K km on a 2008 bike.

Since I bought it, I replaced the fuel pump, spooned on a lightly used set of Diablo Rosso 3s (bike had the ORIGINALLY 2008 factory tires on it. sheesh) and changed the oil.

Rode it to work today, after gettting all of the insurance and registration bullshit done.

oh my sqeet jesus this motor is the smoothest 4 banger on the planet. I stopped at a light and had to actually look down to make sure the bike was on.

also, it sits at 130 just as happy as it will sit at 40, 60, or 90km/h. its effortless and smooth and jesus christ why did I give my dad this bike?! I should have kept it...

CBF...1000? Just looked up the specs and compared them to my ST1100. Yeah, that looks like it’ll get the job done.

Holy sweet jesus that de-tune tho. From 170hp in the CBR1000RR to under 100 in your CBF. And I thought the trophy had a de- tune...

remember, this is an 08. so take the CBR1000RR from that year. it was only 150HP.

and actually the motor might even be based off the older CBR1000, ad those only made 130. so its not THAT big of a drop.

I think I had the successor to that motor in my CBR1000, can attest, is stupid smooth, even in the superbike (although the noise makes it feel less smooth I’ m sure)
