04 cbr1000rr v gsxr 750 k4

[stooster]

i was all set for getting a 954 blade then decided to go for the 100cc version .....but now got k4 ,k5 gixer 750's in my head.....

have you got any of these....or even better rode all three....

selling a 600 sports as im pissed off with revving the shit out of it to get anywhere......how torquey is the 750 and how does it compare to the blades..

cheers

blade = good.

I have the 07 1000rr, it's the best bike i've had for lazy overtakes and easy speed. Comfy too.

My completely unbiased view is the GSXR is more rewarding.

I test rode an 06/07 blade last year before I bought my new (current) bike. I actually think the K4/5 Gixers are more comfortable than the blade, the gixer's pegs and bars look worse when you look at them, but somehow it works and lets you spread out a bit. I'm 6'2 and found the blade awfully cramped, especially the peg to seat relationship, back of my knees were killing me!

The blade certainly has more torque, I remember thinking the acceleration in 6th was about as hard as my old thundercat in 3rd.
Back to the GSXR though, I don't think there would be much in it at all if both bikes were bouncing off the red. Both have tremendous braking systems. People say the blade is boring but personally I thought it was a good laugh

As for my bike, its torquey compared to a 600 but if you ride these back to back you'll think the GSXR is the same as a 600. It has no bottom end, a healthy midrange which comes on like a switch (nothing, nothing and we're away) and a screaming top end, whereas the blade has power everywhere.

GSXR for me

ill be upping from a cbr f sport which aint the fastest 600 so i assumne both will feel very fast...

ive had a read of a few posts on here and am getting to like the thought of the gixer more.....

still thinkl the 1000rr looks amazing though...

ive got my fsport for sale then when its gone ill have about £4500 to play with and whilst its shit hot looking at all these bikes.......its also hard work deciding......

gonna look at a couple tomorrw...will try the 750 for size.

Missing the midrange from the SV ? .

What about a 1000cc V-twin? RSV Mille (01/02) can be had for £3k for a minter.

Very nice mate, shame you went for the slower blue and white model (black and yellow has an extra twelveteen bhp), but it looks lovely all the same
