The new Kimuras are made by Bear and Son if I'm not mistaken. Reviews have been mixed. Especially in the F&F department. You might be better off just saving for the morpho.
Thanks !Beautiful bike! Still got some more tire to lean in there
For some reason I usually reach for a 0452 or 0801 when I ride.
Thanks !
Yes there’s a little more tire left if you’d like to drag a little ear and elbow lol.
I chose a taller tire with a little less width to acquire more lean angle with which in turn gives more tire on the road when you want to drag a knee
When I run on the street I only run about 70% . I’ll take another pic for you after a track daywhich should be sometime in June .
But man this CBR 1000 rr is a different animal after getting it dyno tuned . So much smooth power across the board .
I’ve had many bikes over the years and this is my favorite with my gixer 1000 a close second . Here’s a couple shots of my k6 CBr 1000rr and my Gixer k7 1000 at a couple of track days for your entertainment
What ya riding ?

That’s a very good tire and R1’s are sexy as heck !! Had a red and white one I ordered blue and they called me and said come down and take a look at this red one we got . Sure enough I went down there and bought it lol and then 2 months later swapped out the red plastic for blueThat's great! I just put some Meltzer M7's on my R1 for the upcoming season. Priorities change and it doesn't see a lot of action nowadaysI certainly don't use the shoulder of the tire like I used to.
