    Hi everyone i live in stoke-on-trent just sold my zx636 and on the look out for a 09/10 hrc blade if anyone knowsone for sale. I have only ever owned zxr's but have test rode a few bikes and the cbr1000rr have always stood out imo. I am quite specific in the bike i want next (or as the missus says a fussy t**t lol) So im looking for hrc less than 10k miles, seat cowel, nice can also.
    If there is any issues i should look out for or links to read up on i would be gratefull.
    thanks

    well after a 6 hour round trip i didnt buy the blade as there was signs of damage and it had been dropped at some point in its life (.
    Waste of time and fuel but lucky escape, almost made an offer too.
    Got one more to look at today so fingers crossed.

    Why don't people describe things as they really are , that would piss me right off.

    Picked up my blade today im so happy with it, done a 100 miles today many more to come. No more changing gears to keep up with my mates and it stears sowell and so smooth.
    Got one question the clutch lever feel like it is snagging and makes a cracking noise every now and again anyone got any ideas what it could be or would it just need a quick lube?
    I will try get some picks up on the weekend when i clean it got more miles to go first lol

    Clutch sounds normal.... Think it'll be the Slipper Clutch...
    Sure you'll love your bike. Take your time getting used to it. You'll find 3rd gear makes it a bit like a 'twist and go' :)
