Thank you suru! its really good to know, people enjoyed something you've experience. And yes I will definitely bring the bike, absolutely cheers!

A nicely penned post that is a straight shoot from the heart. Nice going dude... Guess, we have a person to write our future Coimbatore G2G trip logs... Cheers.

ha..ha last thing am gonna do is homework! That too after g2g pay me and ill consider

yea he is.. You can say he is the person who taught what riding a bike really is, otherwise i would have been a driver (i mean a person riding only cars)...
would love to meet you and your black beauty soon..

P.S. I hope You will be knowing, Mr.Mohanraj's first SBK was a CB1000...

ah ha.. a car lover! :P surely i know what it feels like, I enjoy my swift thoroughly its a pleasure. Sure, we'll meet up anytime you're around here. Yeah I've seen the CB1000 picture in the facebook album, monstrous phew! that to this, can understand how much love he does have for these bikes

Thanks

Do you have any dyno charts for a stock cb1000r , I wished to see wht power and torque it develops at different rpm's

Phew, took me hours to find this dyno. I was pretty sure i found one easily before buying it. FZ1 definitely beats this, no doubts about that if that's what you'd like to compare lolz..

Thanks , I also tried searching this dyno chart many times but never found it(for comparison only). fz1 puts out a little higher torque and bhp for each rpm

It was my pleasure bro. And unquestionably! you've got the most powerful bike!

congrats on that beautiful piece of machine
sorry for the late wishes. i would love to ride along side when i come to tirupur

have you finished your first service?

Congratulations Blackside !! i say black always works and the CB1000R with its curves and sharp edges is a looker !! and i can understand the transition from a 200 to cb1 !! lol its crazy ! . But i cant believe that you touched 170kmph on the first day !!! :O i have never seen anything above 130 man its plane darn scary !

@diehard: i like even the cb1000r in white guess i will never change, not that it looks bad or something. it still looks stunning. the rear alloys are really drool worthy according to me. the cb1000 has sharp edges in its design and it looks very attractive unlike the rather plain design of the fz1

Thanks harish oh surely would love that bro, post a comment or PM me when you are gonna show up we'll go for a ride somewhere!

Thanks bro, black has always been my personal favorite for over a decade, not that I have anything against other colors, black just makes me feel comfortable and yeah 200 to cb1k on a day was hell crazy ha..ha.. loved it to the core, it was a dream come true Been on an sbk before and hit close to 200kmph so managed to pull the 170 off, but i agree anything over 130 is crazy! lolz..

yeah white is sexy, seen a friends cb1k its beautiful. Wish these were like mobile phones and i could just switch covers :P but, I cant sadly!

Some more pics, one from the showroom before delivery and the first shots after getting the bike

The bike has had it's first run in, changed oil filter, changed engine oil its now running on Honda's very own synthetic oil. Then the usual, chain cleaning and lubrication, coolant fill up and battery charging etc., Wanted to opt for suspension changes, but, I didn't know what exactly I was looking for so skipped. But I will all in good time.

It took approximately 3 and half hours for it to finish, they took at most care at Honda. Very friendly and helpful, they discussed anything technical and were informed. Since, super-bikes are new, it is evident they are still learning, and they do have a lot of catching up to do, if the issues are beyond common and gets more complicated (I.e: cbr1000r abs battery drain error etc.,) Everyone at staff were very helpful and supportive.

Beyond tools, provisions for servicing super-bikes like lifts etc., are not yet available in Coimbatore or even Chennai it seems. Currently the facilities are only availed in two wing worlds Delhi and Mumbai respectively, the expansion is slower than the other manufacturers.

The bike now has no thud or clung noise while slipping into first gear, which is common on many super-bikes. The engine felt hell smooth and the urge to rev harder was satisfied after the first service. Now I feel free to ride the bike and as I've also grown more confident with the bike, still learning lean angles and smooth shifts. It's all in good hand.

Over all, 2.75 lts of oil was used. Got the remaining oil and chain cleaner and lubricant and also premixed coolant as well. The service cost came up to about Rs. 9000/- Including spares, oil, etc., This was my first service at 1000kms. Second and next one is at 6000 kms. Those are about it

Some pics from servicing. Cheers
