Holy MOLY. The sheer fury of that thing up to 230 mph. I imagine the sound has to be so intense, not just loud but INTENSE, you could taste it. I need that as my ringtone. Who has two thumbs and can’t even? This guy.

Hhhhhholy moly...

Thank you for that. I got a good heart chuckle seeing everyone go running like someone chucked a jerry can of gas into a bonfire.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Check it out for yourself. It’s not all some vague, ambiguous Nostradamus stuff.

What, you don’t squeeze YOUR brakes and clutch with just your pinkies and ring fingers? Wuss.

Do a search on “five eyes countries.”

Not just political leaders. The Bible books of Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, and others, not to mention Jesus in Matthew 24, predicted global catastrophe, wars, famine, and disease, which at that time would have been unheard of due to the technology and limited travel in the world. It also predicted Israel and…

Sounds like a pissed off elephant. Me likee.

It’s a baffling wonder that anyone watches F1 anymore. Go watch MotoGP, WSBK, rally racing, Australian V8s, WEC, anything but F1. Not to denigrate the drivers or manufacturers at all, but with the specs and rules, it’s just not racing anymore.

Science and technology be darned, GOOD HEAVENS THAT THING IS GORGEOUS.

Oh sheesh, I’m a dingbat. I wrote my finest piece of poetry (with regards to a certain Theodore Geisel) after watching this guy rip around the IOM.

I’d like to see what Jonathan Rea’s and Tom Sykes’ thoughts on this machine would be, especially the H2R. It’s to be expected for a regular shlub to mess his trousers on this exercise in lunacy, but what’s it like in the hands of a pro?

In today’s terms, a 500+lb sport bike is starting to get hefty. Calling it a pig is admittedly a stretch, but horsing a machine like that around on a track day would give you quite the sore groin. I’m guessing most of the mass is fairly centralized though so it should still turn with relative ease.

So, no Yoda Stories? Well, all right then.

This is exactly the kind of thing I come here to read about. Love it. Keep up the good work, Mr. Rogoway.

Would you please do Manitoba a favor and share some of that info with them? Their roads, especially in Winnipeg, are just atrocious at times, and doubly so when you drive south of the 49th into either Minnesota or North Dakota.

Will it baby?

It might not make sense to aim a potential Daytona 1050 at the GSXR/Panigale crowd, but it could work if it competed with the Ninja 1000/VFR800. It probably wouldn’t cannabalize Sprint sales since the Sprint competes more in the FJR/ST1300 arena, so a lighter road-oriented sportbike with some light-to-moderate touring…

Fair enough. And I’d have to say, if I was to look at getting a used sportbike for the street, I’d do my darnedest to find a Honda before I look at any of the other brands.

Calling the CBR1000RR a bike for the Average Joe is a bit of an overstatement. It’s not as if they’re running a *bad* bike. The problem is they’re lacking in all those little technological advancements that a lot of the other machines have, and a lot of little advancements equal a big problem, especially when all…
