CBR IS FOR MIDGETS?

[Misc]

Hello,

I'm getting a bike soon my choices where rvf/vfr/cbr-rr 400s If i choose the vfr/cbr i can save over £1000+ which i think i'll do as insurance will be better.

Anyway i'm wanting to know if you have any pics of a cbr 400 with a 6ft+ man sitting/next too it as i'm 6ft2 & hear about it's only comfatable for lil' people & you will look silly, If i can fit on it i would buy it 100% so ya pics would help in my decision. Vfr is good allover just that cbr looks that 1 bit newer in shape etc.

Also anyone got any cool pics of all black vfr/cbrs as i will be spraying it unless it has the red & blue/rvf job

Thank you.


P.s

Are all vfr's the same shape or are the newer ones better same with the cbr's is it the gullarm i will be wanting

Had you considered the zxr? Got a bit roomier riding position.

Some tall people I've known have found the CBR quite comfotarble, but it does have a particularly low seat height.

Ah yes the zxr all these bikes look the same sort of all nice & sporty & all can be got at good prices, The zxr is more like the cbr then the vfr, I will look around, The rvf is out of the pic now as i won't find a good-un for under £2100 & i would have to insure it for over that where if i get a vfr i can insure it for around £1500, Is this why 400s are so popular there sporty looks & good performance for a low price, There great!


P.s How tall where the people

I'm 6ft and didn't fit on any of the 400 Hondas. My legs were too long to fit into the tank sides properly, if you know what I mean. The ZXR is a bit bigger.

[Misc]

Can you get a Zxr in all black, Are there many types as i would want the twin light one Damn honda. How much is a all colour respray inc wheels.

but they are ridable & not small as in you hate going out on one, Does it loook silly

[G]

Does the colour /really/ matter that much to you?

Once you own the bike you may find you actually rather enjoy riding it and find that looking at the bike (which is a bad thing while riding it!) isn't quite so pleasurable.

Of course, that may not be the case.

I'm not aware that any came in black paint schemes as standard.

Dulux does a nice range of out door paint though .

Stole this off 400greybike

This is a gsx-400 right with a 6ft man on it, The cbr can't be smaller then this can it. Great looking bikes tho.

[EuropeanNC30R...]

Think I'm just under 6ft and I fit on my NC30 fine. One thing to note is that the ZXR has fairly high pegs compared to the Hondas.

This pic may/may not help:

CBR (centre) rider about 5'9ish
VFR (right) rider about 5'11ish

I always thought the V4 pegs were higher, while the zxr 400 pegs were a bit lower and the CBR pegs lower than that, but with a lower seat height as well.

[Misc]

The vfr look normal to a tall person, But like that gsx pic it honestly looks like a 50cc.

Have you got a side view with you on it (i aint gay)

[Claud 14.7 to 1]

CBR has the lowest pegs, and a really low seat, VFR has slightly higher pegs/seat, ZXR has the highest of both seat and pegs, and would be your best bet IMO.

Although, I still wouldn't call it exactly "roomy", maybe because the pegs are high up, sportier than the Hondas.

O and I'm 5"10 and I, personally, find the CBR OK, but I wouldn't like to be any taller and have one!

Im 6f 6inch and any bike is going to be small, just ride it and enjoy thats what i do.

Thanks, If i can save i'm thinking of a r6/gsx as this is a nice height for me. But again down to MONEY!!!
