no stake in this, just passing the info along -I'm sure all across the country same deals

I was at my local dealership nosing around the other day, and that was the same offer they had. You don't know how close I was to trading in my hawk on a beautiful deep maroon cbr1000. My wife said I wasn't allowed. I'm still considering it. We just won't tell her

Most do not burn a significant amount of oil, but some do. Over at 1000RR.net it seems about 20% of the 08's burn oil at an excessive level. Most of the owners will tell you that the bike is so good, a little oil burning doesn't bother them too much.
A few of the bikes have been really bad though, and Honda is re-ringing those. I went on a weekend ride with a guy who owns a BMW K1300S and his bike burned about a quart in about 700 miles. And He probably paid twice as much for his burner!

I fail to see the down side here. you get the bike you want, she gets the ninja, and scares the hell out of herself and ends up not riding it, and then you have a sport tourer too. sounds like a win win to me.

I have a hard time sleeping at night even with the GS500 she rides. a ZX-14 would send me straight to the mental ward. Both are dangerous, but going from a 500 to a 1400 is just plain insane.
Back on topic.... cheap CBR's!
