Hi guys, i need your opinion
My friend tired of his 04 cbr 1000, he wants trade with my 05 zx-6r and make track bike out of it,
Deal or no deal?

Thanks

 

[Fade-Dude]

Would be NO Deal for me....

If it was a new model mebe, just mebe, but then I'd still sell it and buy a new zx6!

What makes him want to replace a 1000 with a 600 class if he's tired of the 1000? Either way, I wouldn't trade. If you're interested in a liter bike, there are better out there than the 04 CBR...

The biggest thing is does the CBR1000RR make you feel the same way as when you look at your ZX does?

When you ride the CBR does it make you as happy and excited to ride?

Personally i like the CBR1000RR and wouldnt mind having one,
almost bought Alex Goberts EX-SuperStock bike..

I could not do a trade as i know what the zx6r is capable of with Suspension mods, then again i still find it needs more power..

The CBR1000RR is an awesome street bike dont let anyone say it isnt..

No deal here. If I wanted a liter bike, I would have got one. I love my 636 .

ditto! love my 636.. I could have bought a 1000, but it was unnecessary to me

04 rr = no
04 zx10 = yes

 

[greenreeper05]

Difinite No No.... I wouldnt trade the 636 for a 04 CBR1000. The mods you can do to your 636 would be way better than having a CBR, and not that the CBR is a bad bike by all means, but there are better litre bikes out there than the 04' CBR1000. Like....04' ZX-10 [:M55]

 

[pinksnyper]

the CBR 1000's have the worst seats in the fucking WORLD. I almost bought a 600RR but when i sat on it my mind was changed instantly. its like sitting on a plank [xx(]

 

[04GTMustang]

hahaha thats what i said when i was looking at the 600rr sat on it and it felt like ur sitting on plywood it sucked. But zx6r all the way man stay with it.

Weren't the 04's heavy and underpowered, relative to the other literbikes I mean. If it was an 06 cbr1000rr, I'd say hell yes, but an 04 is a tough decision. What kind of riding do your do primarily? Riding around town I find myself wanting a liter, but then I get to the twisties and instantly change my mind. I just got back from the gap and a guy I went with had a 06 1000rr and he couldn't get away from me, even on the Cherohala which is high speed. I carried more speed through the turns and had more of a drive on the straights.

 

[hokie636]

No trade, all above posts are right on.

 

[NickLike_Whoa]

agree with how horrible the seat is, I originally went to buy an 05 600rr but after I sat on the seat it was a no brainer to get the kawi

 

[Fade-Dude]

1000's are for whimps in anyways, only REAL men ride 600's!

 

[JayDeezy5]

Does the 04' CBR have inverted forks?

 

[nevada]

i ride with a guy on a 04 rr. its good looking bike. and hes vey fast on it. but in the end.its all up to what you want to do. and..theres no way in hell i can keep up with him....

yes. and I agree with everybody here on keeping the 636. don't give up an above average 600 for a below average 1000. just not worth it.

 

[nupacinko]

thanks for all the replys guys, make more sense.
I mostly use only for commute.
The feeling? hmmmmm, no other bike give me the sensation as my bike gave me, even duc or aps. r-1 and zx-10 pretty close tho.
I'll have to see his bike detaily anyway, made appoiment with him already, i'll give you guys update, what happened.
Thx.

i have an 05 zx6 and was riding with a friend on an 04 1000rr, we switched bikes for a little bit and i found that the 1000rr is not as peppy and fun as the 636. I feel like if i ride the 1000rr like i ride my 636 i would have less fun and just end up at a higher top speed. The thing i did really like about the bike is that it feels really nice at lower RMPs and compared to my 636 i felt like i could have gone on much longer rides.

i would say the 636 is a bike of its own and if you like yours i wouldnt trade it for anything els.

For street riding, I'd do that trade. If you want to cruise at lower RPMs and have the torque of a liter bike for instant passing, then do it. The 04 CBR1K was supposed to be a great street bike although a little behind the other liter bikes on the track (a little less power, a little more weight).

It all depends on how well you fit on the bike and if you enjoy riding it. Supersports are more nimble in the corners, but it's not like the CBR is a 600 lb barge or something. You can probably buy a new seat from Sargent or Corbin for a couple hundred bucks to solve that issue.
