Another question for everyone: I love my CBR, but at times I feel like my nuts are getting destroyed against the tank. Seat position better on the r6's or other related models?
City riding yesterday to a happy hour with the BSSC I caught a bump in my lane, no way to avoid it, and actually popped up in the air off my seat. Mildly exciting, but scary at the same time.
It all depends on the year... I like the 03-05 R6 and the 06-09 R6s. I do not like the position of the 06 and up R6r. They are 2 completely different feels ... As well as power.. The 03-05 has decent mid range power as where the 06 and up are all up top and are slugs down low.
I have had a few cbr's as well and they are good to ride but the seat sucks and a lot of weight was put on my wrists. The power was sluggish to come on and felt like the gears were just too long. I think with a good set of sprockets.. The bike would come alive.
The gsxr has a power closer to that of the R6.... But sacrificing comfort and the bike doesn't feel as nimble.
I won't speak on the kawi's cause I have owned a 05 and 06 636 and I rode a 09 zx6r and they are completely differnt bikes. Neither are super comfortable but the 09 was far superior.. And it was really obvious.
