Took my CBR in...

Crap.

But I've just come off an R6, a TL1000R and a ZX6R so it's hardly suprising.

It goes okay, reasonable acceleration, brakes are fairly shit, tyres seem to warm up okay (they're some Continental one ones), bike starts wobbling above about 90mph, but I got about 105-110 on the M4 this evening, but wouldn't want to maintain that speed. Laughing

I disagree on the brakes bit... brakes seemed ok, not amazing but still ok to me. Managed stoppies at low speeds and slides at higher speeds.
However it seemed to be the tyres that were limiting braking; well on the short ride I had on it anyway.

The front does seem fairly crappy, but it was grippy quite well, and doing reasonable stoppies from about 40mph once I'd warmed it up with a fair bit of heavy braking.

Gonna tie the front brake off tonight and see what it's like in the morning.
