The CBR is a great bike, I do honestly ride I have done MX since 6 years of age, and ridden on road from 17 years of age, my son who is 14 rides a Honda CRF150R Moto X and competes in the ACU national Championships, I have a CRF450R that I ride occassionally either odd race or practice tracks with my son, I sold my R1 last year and bought an R7 with the full race kit on it (ex British Superbike rider owns local Yamaha dealership and the R7 was his own bike for road use), as standard the R7 was only ever sold in limited numbers with 100BHP then you had to buy the new ignition module and carbs to get it up to 160 bhp. Started on Honda Superdream


then Yamaha 250 LC then had several Fireblades and the GSXR's over the years when I found the R1 I fell in love all over again, the R7 is amazing!
