A very valid point , btw what year, size color etc is the CBR ?
2002, 1100cc, 165 HP (at the crank), 178 mph top speed, Silver. Also had an '00, Titanium Gray. Best bikes I've ever owned and I've owned alot, Beemers included. Smooth, fast, bullet-proof reliable. Good for 1000 mile days if your ass can stand it. Typical Hondas.
Hi guys. Always been a Porsche nut since a kid and have owned my share of 356s ('57 Cab. '59 Conv D, '64 C Coupe, and the last, a '59 A Coupe which I sold like a fool in 2001). No purist but always a car guy, appreciate all well-engineered designs be they factory originals or replicas. The Speedster, to me, always captured the pure essence of driving (like riding motorcycles) and was designed to be fun. Never driven a Speedster replica or ridden in one, but the FUN FACTOR must be off the chart. Hopefully I can find one soon 'cause I ain't gettin' any younger (68). Wife says sell my bike (CBR1100XX) and get a "nice little convertible". Hmmm. Maybe she has a point.
Doug - growing interest in replica Speedsters is a 'slippery slope' to full blown 'Madness'. That being said 'Welcome to the Madness! With the helpful info on this site, you'll be able to make an educated purchase on your acquisition of Speedster bliss!
Peace - Out!
Peace - Out!
Welcome aboard, Doug!
Doug, I have you by 4 years and refuse to not enjoy "the madness".
I used to fly small airplanes and still do drive a BMW motorcycle
but get my best kicks from my Speedster. Great car, great friends
and great events like Carlisle.
I encourage you to come to Carlisle this year. I'll be driving on the way through Knoxville and will join up with two crazies and we'll caravan to the event. When we roll into town we'll be over a dozed cars. If you come you can see lots of Speedsters and some are for sale. Plus 2-3 manufacturers will be showing their cars there too.
Hey Jack! I resemble that remark! Welcome to the madness Doug, I think Jack was referring to Hoss and me in Knoxville. We'll be joining up and heading to one of the biggest car shows held each year.

Yes, Doug, welcome, c'mon in. I'm pretty new to this scene too and will be joining this group in Carlisle for the first time. They've all been promising the world to me, I trust they're going to deliver.
