  1. But....They are even taking a beating on their cars for the last couple of years.....I've seen it all over the financial pages. The problem with the bikes and them producing another CBX is that when the CBX was intro'd there wasnt anything like it on the road. And the lead engineer for the project has retired. Corporate thinking has also changed in the last 5 years....It used to be the engineers and the product specialist's that directed new product development...Now its the fucking bean counter accountants and the market specialist's who want market share and top sellers. I think the slosest to a CBR your ever gonna see right now in THIS corporate enviroment IS the VFR. Hold on tight to your XX and stockpile spare parts. I've seen the so called pictures of the "new ST" and its a fucking VFR with a passenger saddle and bluetooth. I'd rather keep what I have. (Looked at a Triumph lately? THEY are HUNGRY....It shows in their line up!)
  2. Humm....even my slow old mans bike will torque it out in the first two..... Might need a tuneout. Thankyou all for your replies.....it makes things easier for me. I'll look for a FI bike if I can find it or buy a good carb model if it happens to cross paths with me on the same day as the cash! PS. The FASTEST color in an ST is RED!
  3. Ok, I'm gonna be in the Market for a second bike soon and I've got it boiled down to a make and model>>>> the CBR1100XX. From what I've read I need to be careful about stator troubles.....How PO's tried to manage the heat and look for signs its been overheated a few times too many.... Other then that its simple basis Motorcycle schtuff. Is there a particular year model to avoid?.....One that shines???? Carb or FI?? Yeah, I know.....Its a Honda.....Take it for a ride and if it will put the front tire in the air in first and second on WOT, go 0 to 100 then back down to 25 without a wobble or strange noises and theres no geysers when ya park it buy it.......(thats what I tell people on the ST site) Was just wondering if the model had any lemons....
  4. On a C10 Concours thats warped rotors..... Harbor frieght sells run out dials..... Good tool to have around when horsepower exceeds 120hp and blasts over 120mph are common. Usually bearings will howl if they are worn enough to hop the wheel.
