Next bike??

Post by TheFitter »

Hi,
Just after some advice/ thoughts,
Been riding two years and had Yamaha Thundercat as first bike, now ready for next bike, I took a cbr600rr out on sat and found it too small (bloody tiny) and not much better than mine! Now thinking a 1000cc sport bike but not sure which one, any thoughts / advice?

Anything in the 1000cc sports bike class will just blow your mind, me and the wife both have zx10's and love them not many things you can buy for under five grand that you can do over 100mph in first gear. Go to a dealer and take some out and have fun.

Based on the fact you were thinking of a 600rr, which is a sports biased bike, but want something a little larger physically, what about the bike that is reckoned to be the almost perfect Gixxer - the GSXR750 k6 - k8 ? Almost the performance of a thou, with the usability of a 600, in a slightly bigger frame than an rr :)
