2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR

Hey guys!
Just trying to mmake up for the fact that I didn't post any new articles lately, of course, because of the lack of time in my schedule.
But as you are used to, IF you read my blog frequently, I like to compare same class motorcycles. Because all of them are highly rated and declared as "the best" in their class. I want to make that slight difference between them, but of course, that will be my oppinion. As I encouraged you to do, you can always leave comments if your oppinion differs from mine and we can discuss about it.
As I posted about the 2008 Yamaha YZF R1, it's normal that I must post articles about its rivals. One worthy of writing of, is the 2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR. It's a hell of a motorcycle, and just like the 600cc/middleweight class comaprison, I think that the Honda is the best. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so. Anyway...after all, it's just a matter of taste. The brand new Honda is a super-fast literbike with the handling of a 600cc motorcycle but still, with the power of a 999cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine. If you have the chance, hust test ride it and you will see...
