Wondering about selling my 2001 sv650s soon and getting something a bit faster i got the sv650s as to slowly get me used to having a big bike from when i got rid of my nsr125.
The bikes im looking at at the moment are:

CBR600RR 05/06
GSX-R 750 05/06
Z 750 05/06
ZXR636 05/06


But im stuck with what bike out of the above if money was no object i'd have the gixer but if i cant afford a 750 ill have a 600 but pref want a honda then any other makes but iv herd the cbr is slower then its rivals and are there any weak points to any of the other bikes any views?

cheers Thumbs Up

Test ride the ones you are thinking of and decide that way?

You know, comfort, ease of riding, cost of insurance...

Blimey, that's quite a range. £15 all the way up to £17,000.

I'll have one for £17?

Once again, I say go and find one in a dealership and try one. You might find that you don't like it quite so much when you've ridden it, or something else.

Having ridden most, i think the K4+ Gsxr, or the 05+ zx636r. But i would say that because i have owend both. I have ridden the honda and its very nice but the least comfortable. It also costs the most and the build quality is know better then the rest.

yes but i'm on about do any of the bikes have any faults on them that you find out after you buy them i.e my sv needed a mud guard extention for when used in rain, that sort of thing.

Have a little test ride on the Z. Although it isnt the sports bike it seems you crave it might give you a bit of a surprise. Theyre really comfy and look the part. Feel really nice and aggressive when youre riding quick and are just as easy to commute on as i do everyday to college. Smile

ultimately though just remember to get the one that excites you the most, thats what bike are all about Thumbs Up

Good luck! Thumbs Up

Haha yeah they do look pretty nice. Only problem ive found is trying to get proper custom bits for it is a bit difficult at the moment, im sure by this time next year theres going to be loads about like there are for the Z1. Although ive got a couple of bits for mine and its looking okay considering ive chucked it down the road.

Its a really nice bike on the whole though so comfortable as the seats hoooge! ive got mine restricted at the moment and its got quite a bit of power, unrestricted and the front end will lift just on the power so it cant be too bad! Twisted Evil
