heh, heh... I got call from shop in Santa Barbara I had been using for decades. I was actually looking for CBR1000RR-R SP last year, but they couldn't get it. Offered me CBR600RR instead. Not that much improved over previous versions really. Currently my '07 is 376-lbs with 4-ltr petrol in tank, enough for 1 session or race on track. I'm going to work on lightening it up some more, CF wheels, CF one-piece subframe, titanium bolts, new harness with aluminium wires and micro-connectors, etc.
THEN, it'll be perfect!
Extra weight of litre-bikes just kills handling, I don't like that.
