I am thinking of buying a 06 cbr1000. What is the difference with the regular bikes and the CA model? How much slower is it. Can this be removed or changed?

Why on earth would you want to go faster than 186 mph on the street.

A stock CBR1000 is not capable of 186mph.
I'm not sure of all the differences between the CA and 49 state models but usuually it has some anti-smog stuff. It adds weight and usually robs you of a few HP. I'd talk to some Cali guys though, if you remove that stuff you might be screwing yourself with emmission's inspection.

depends on the bike and manufacturer. but most deffirences are that ca model bikes have cat converters and sometimes a slightly different map and some other smog bull crap. most people keep the stock stuff on and then after they get it inspected they put on all there aftermarket stuff that does away with the cat. and either keep it till it needs to be inspected again, or when that time comes theyre out searching for full stock exhaust systems ot use.

Incorrect. All the motorcycles that have catalyzers in their exhaust systems retain them for 49-state models as well. There are no motorcycles that have a catalyzer just for the CA model.

There are no bi-annual "smog inspections" necessary for motorcycles...yet.
Some CA models have different cams, nearly all have different fueling/ignition curves in the ECUs.
The only "smog" pieces you can easily remove are the charcoal canister for vapor recovery from the gas tank cap, and sometimes air injection tubing and assorted components for the exhaust ports on some bikes.

Careful there. A lot of bikes have catalyzers for CA and not the rest of the US: SV1000, Katanas, ZZR600. Not sure about the Hondas, although there are two pipes listed for the CBR1000.
Just keeping you on your toes...

You wouldn't be able to register it in CA then. I believe a bike has to be several years old in order to bring it in from out of state.

We had to go through some rigmarole to register our Ebay bike in CA. Not sure about what paperwork was involved, but it had to have 7500 miles on it.

I am not going to register the motorcycle in CA. I plan on sending it to europe were there are really no SMOG laws so i just want to get the most power out of the cbr without screwing up the engine.

Ive never heard of it having to be 7 years old. but it is true that the bike atleast have to have 7000 miles. which is why when someone brings a new bike to ca usualy they buy someones instrument cluster with the appropiate amount of miles

trevitt about the hondas. i think both the 600 and 1000rr have a different pipe in the sense that the ca models have o2 sensors in the pipe and when your at a steady rpm (freeway droning) it leans the motor out for better gas mileage

You may want to check on this before you spend the money.
My friend is from Germany, working here. He was telling me about the inspections they have to go thru every year.
His bike was brought over from Germany. It has Cats on it.
He also told me they were strict on aftermarket parts, and modifying you bike. He has told me my bike would not be legal there, because of the exaust and re-mapping.
Dont know if this is 100% true, Just what I have been told....

I don't understand, why not just buy it in Europe? The Euro is strong right now and the dollar is weak. The bike might even be cheaper there...not to mention having to pay to ship it.
