2004 Honda Cbr1000rr Rear Lean View

The CBR1000RR's riding position is more radical than the CBR954RR's, though it didn't seem any more punishing during our day of riding than the '03-spec GSX-R1000 and YZF-R1's. And it's not as if the new R1 and ZX-10R are gonna be lounge chairs. Due to the significant mass centralization Honda incorporated into the design and the low and forward placement of the fuel tank (see photo on page 26, top), the CBR steers and flicks similarly whether full of fuel or near-empty.
