    Sabre699 Wait...hold my beer.

    Yeah but they're not "leader" bikes. :D

    No reason for Honda to develop and release a new production CBR 1000 that will only gather dust on showroom floors. I don’t see them having a competitive bike in WSBK making any difference towards sales etc. Last I heard the warehouse in Chicago still had several hundred non current CBR1000s.

    Yeah but 600s outsell 1000s so from a money standpoint it makes sense and especially with bike sales in the crapper

    They’re still shipping 5yr-old VFR’s.

  5. Not from Honda. I believe they stopped making the CBR600RR a couple/few years ago.

  6. Yes.

    It's awesome.

    Huge grids, all of the OEMs represented, and great racing.

    Agreed. I tell people to just watch it without trying to put it in a category. It's just a cool story.

    Hell, I'll settle for a standard 1000rr as a daily street scoot if they're selling them for less than the ridiculous $13K+

    I'm a Cbr owner since 08 and I can't tell you how many of these threads I've seen.

    A base model for $6K is so tempting.

    They gather dust because they don't win races. Everyone wants the fastest 1/4mile, the highest HP, podium winning bling bling. Honda hasn't done that in a long long time. If they did, people would buy them again.

    You wanna sell the last of those hundreds of 1000s? Offer 2k for a club race win accross the US when there are at least 15 finishers per race. And for a bike purchased new within the last 6 months.

    I remember buying my 2008 brand new in the crate for 6900 dollars back when they first tried to clear their warehouses.

    I remember the "engine scare fire sale of '08" vividly. Nowadays, on CL of FB marketplace I still see '08s for that price....

    Actually, I really liked my '06 once I replaced the HESD until it was time to remove the bodywork...almost as fun as taking apart a tightly wound alarm clock.
