Hi Guys,
Just got my N1K last Saturday. Bought it from a bike collector with less than 900 miles on it that comes with full list of accessories. I am going to sell those here in the near future since I don't need stuffs like a extra tall windshield, tank bags, cruise control, Sargent seat...etc.
My first bike was a 2003 Honda CBR600RR. Got married, stopped riding and then back on it on a cruiser... got into a crash when commuting but lucky enough to keep the bike after fixing it up. I am just not a curiser guy and dreamt to get back on something with a clip-on handle bar for years. Luckily, my wife softened up and "approved" the N1K for some reasons (which are still a mystery to me).
To be honest iwth you, I have could have bought another bike maker with a big discount as an employee but the N1K's package is just hard to pass on. I was about to determine to get a CBR 650F due to price but my N1K came on Craigslist with an amazing deal that I could not ignore and I am excited and glad that I made a wise decision to choose the N1K. Rode it right away on Mulholand HWY the next day, got to admit that I might have just used only 40% of its potential that I never passed 5,000 rpm. The power is just always there at any range even in 6th gear. Man, I am sure that's something I won't get from a 650F or even the Interceptor.
Engine is buzzier than I expected but compared to the the V-twin that I used to ride, it is relatively smooth like silk. LOL The stock exhaust is just AWESOME! I don't know how the Pre-2014 model sounds like but they said they have revised the intake portion and it is LOUD. The howl and growl is very noticeable and nice. I don't think I would ever change that because I think it looks quite nice too, think of it, how many bike with triangular stock pipe?!
I broke my bank on gears alone and I ordered HIDs, wheel stripes and even a full set of 3M clear bra kit for paint/headlights protection for the bike.
I am just so excited to dress my baby up!
