Hi all, my name is Paul, I ride (when i get a spare minute or two) a CBR 600f F4, been a great bike but im 6' 2" and i find the seat a bit low plus im after something with more character as its only used as a toy.
If anyone has an opinion on a 2003 ish Aprillia RSV 1000 (staying sporty) or a cb900 Hornet (going for comfort) i would be grateful.

Thanks for reading Smile

P.s. Sorry never used add attachment thing before, have no idea if it will work!

From what I have read up the RSV has a higher seat.

At 6'2 I would expect you find most sports bikes cramped though.

Yes i do find them either too low in the seat or short so im looking over the screen, the RSV is by far the best compromise so far, plus it has the characterful twin, have tried things like VFR800 which do fit very well but thats about it, find them a bit dull for a weekend toy in the same way as the cbr600.

Will keep looking Rolling Eyes
