Nice looking bike, Ray. I've had two CBR929s (and a 600RR, and an RC51, and a...the list goes one - LOL), and shopping for the '06 1000RR right now. Haven't decided on the color yet, but leaning heavily towards the one you chose.

Yeah, that 2tone silver just jumped right out at me when i first saw it at the dealership. the black would have been my second choice. i paid $10,900 OTD. let me know what you get yours for. i tried to give them $10,000 cash but they didn't go for it.

the stabilizer bracket comes with the VersaHaul but you will need a second one if you have the spare tire carrier and have to use an extension. here's both of the sites that you will find everything you need...

Once my other half takes the rider's course, I fully plan on an RC51. I went from a TL1000 ( 2 years without a bike)to this 600RR. It's fast for a stock 600... and waaaaayyy lighter than the TL. But I do miss that low-end torque!!! Is that seat on the 1000 as bad as my 600? I need to order a Corbin seat for sure.

Thanks for the info, two more question, sorry I just want to get it right, are you referring to the titan trailer hitch box extension? and where would you put the second bracket?
Thanks

i used the 7" extension/HE06...

you will need an HD stabilizer bracket where the carrier meets the extension and another for where the extension meets the hitch receiver. i will post pics when i get my second HD stabilizer if you need to see what i'm talking about.

I'm at $11,000 OTD with my dealer right now, and still trying to beat a few more bucks out of him. I know I could do better elsewhere, but I've bought most of my new bikes from this dealership, and they have a brand new location that is only 10 minutes from my house.

HMR22 04-11-2006 03:32 PM

Couple more rookie questions sorry, How many times have you carried your bike and do you still have to use that tow button so the transmission could compensate for that extra weight distribution?

i've carried my bike a few times already and i never even thought to use the tow button. my rig seemed fine when towing the bike...but that could be due to my hypertech programmer, airaid intake, granatelli MAF Sensor and flowmaster exhaust. i will try using the tow button the next time around to see what difference it makes.

I know if i got mine for $10,900 OTD here in Cali then Texas should be cheaper. I feel the same way about buying from a dealer that's close to home.

I've ridin my buddy's 600RR and that seat is pretty firm but it's not that bad...it just takes some getting used to. the seat on my 954RR was about the same as the 600RR. i guess a corbin seat wouldn't be a bad investment

That looks sweet! Makes me want a street bike (which makes the girlfriend very angry) !

Boss Hoss 04-12-2006 02:56 AM

Nice looking setup...looks very trick.

DH22G 04-12-2006 06:17 AM

looks awesome... the only thing that can make it better is if it was a ducati... hmmmm ducati

PewterPower 04-12-2006 09:27 AM

OUCH ! I built a carrier out of 4" channel iron for my sons dirt bike and it cost me $24....painted it with the shiny black RustOleum....and voila !

There is some movement back and forth....but nothing to be concerned about.

Next time I load it up I'll take pics !

YMMV, but IMO, the Corbin seats suck for hanging off the bike if you ever do track days or race.
