presentation of the CBR 1000 F 1999
The CBR 1000 F opened up new horizons of fast travel. Although its fairing wasn't to everyone's liking when it first came out, the full cladding gave the bike a certain class and style all of its own. Technologically, it introduced the CBS braking system, which couples front and rear calipers, bringing real efficiency. Although CBR is more synonymous with sport in the motorcycle world, the 1000 is above all an effective sport-GT, a niche to which it has made a major contribution. The machine has been designed to ride far, fast and long, as evidenced by the remarkable build quality and assembly of its components. There's plenty of comfort, the suspension is supple, the passenger is made to feel welcome and the saddle makes you feel at home. This CBR's major flaw is that it's too quiet: the engine is powerful but lacks depth, like a dish lacking salt and pepper. Despite the overall balance, the weight demands respect, favoring a smooth, winding ride. Clearly, it's better to ride than to play! Yet it's easy to handle, holds the floor very well, and could easily be compared to the 800 VFR, so similar is its performance. It's less sporty, more torquey and more affordable.
