i mean, for real, if i wanted a bike that handled/performed good i would have gotten a CBR600, but with this bike, its just gonna look cool. i was thinking of calling the cb a CB500RR lol, i raced my old CBR600 that i sold to my friend, he gets me off the line but once we get moving i can stay about a bike length behind till about 80 lol if i give it to much throttle off the start it just starts to die so igotta slowly ease it to full throttle
