Not necessarily. Depends what you use the bike for.

Probably should have put this in the for sale section. Wink

Depends on how you use it and the stage at which your riding is at, in that 1000cc bikes let you become terribly lazy you can ride any ride out in 3rd gear and never change gear. Along with the fact that if you don't take a corner perfectly you have the grunt to accelerate quickly to make up for your mistakes.

While 600cc will be changing gears a bit more,

400cc class and below you'll be dancing and working the gears and need to hone your cornering.

Guess it depends what you want from a bike. Something large is nice for eating up the miles effortlessly. But I have always favoured smaller, mostly 2 stroke, bikes myself. Having said that, I do like the look of a couple of the 250 4s, particularly the 250 Bandit.

maybe it should be in the for sale but id like other peoples comments on the question... i bought the vfr because of the reviews i read and i dont want to regret a swap. love the bike but when it comes to stayin with ya mates on a ride it means screaming along at 14000rpm an forever changing gear, think im a lazy type of rider then Laughing

Or change the roads you ride on for something more fun on the little VFR.

I do sometimes miss the easy fast speed and grunt a bigger motor provides, but I know that I'd miss the satisfaction of riding something smaller more if I didn't have my NC30. The larger bikes I've owned just don't seem to offer the same long term enjoyment than keeping the 400 on the boil. And it sure is a lot of fun tugging onto far newer and "faster" machinery when riding something many class as being obsolete.

On a performance basis, for the roads I like to have fun on, I haven't owned another bike, whatever the size, that has ticked so many boxes than my 400 does.

Try before you buy.

cheers for the help craig, you've confirmed what i expected to hear. the bike is great, i can stay with my mates 2002 sv650s almost just about lol... but the r6 an fireblade are awsome (two other mates i ride with), the blade blew me away when i had a go. Very Happy

well definatly need to have a good think, i really fancy a k3 gsxr6 though. well thanks all Wink
