[t101]

all i can find so far is the z750, which i dont really like, and the fz8, which is too new....

i never realised how few bikes there were between 600 - 1000cc, literally only a handful including sports bikes!

Get your chaps out!

You might be better off looking at non sporty litre bikes. VTR1000 firestorm etc .

[Darth]

Why have you decided you want a bike in this category - why are you ruling out anything 600s and 1000+s?

What he ^^ said, Z750's are shite by all accounts, my S4 is quicker in a straight line and far superiors handling. (Handling is based on magazine reviews saying the S4 is amazing and the Z750 is shit)

If you insist on something in that area, Ducati did do a 750 monster but it was gutless and Aprilla do a 750 I think it is called a shiver, I don't know much about them then.

Kawasaki also do the ER6n and Suzuki do a naked SV, both 650's but again slower than the majority of 600 nakeds.

Hyosung also do a naked 650.

Older speed Triples are 885cc or 955cc.

Seriously why are you limiting it?


A 955 isn't much faster than a modern 600 sports. The 750 twins are definitely slower.

S 955 will also be cheaper to insure.


You count 650's as 600 but not a 675? Where do you draw the line? Again most sports 600's would be the same speed/quicker than a Striple R


Engine size is not really indicative of power or performance. There are plenty of thousand+ bikes that could be beaten by 250s/400s.

How about a Buell XB9??

Its only 84bhp, so not massively powerful, but still plenty of grunt from the 980cc V-Twin, cool to look at, and will handle a pillion OK!!

Can be picked up for cheap now as well!!!
