Several guys I know use one of these, called a cramp-buster:

they swear by it, but I'm not sold... worry about always being able to unload the throttle quickly.

I swear by those !
With them, you no longer have to grip the throttle with your hand, just have it lightly in position. No worries about not being unable to unload the throttle quickly, just position your hand the way you would if you were unloading the throttle while holding onto it.

I did a month long trip around the U.S.A. some years ago on my old Honda Shadow 1100. Without that device, I don't think it would have been possible It was about of 7-9 hours of riding a day, every day for a month...

The CBR's riding position is alot more forward then a Shadow so that cramp buster thing isnt gonna make much of a difference till you get your riding position right.

I also have one on my CBR1100XX (which I've taken on multi-week trips) and on my Triumph Speed Triple (which I've taken, well, multi-day trips on).

Even with the right position on a more forward leaning stance, that device saves your hand from all kinds of fatigue and pain that one mind otherwise get from so much time holding the throttle open.. but you're right if you have that device but still lay more weight on your hands that you need to, you're still going to hurt even if you're not riding all day.
