Title: which bike?
Post by: mach1 on June 29, 2007, 07:47:05 PM

the cbr  you are more up on the tank then you are on the sv....Although if you really want an agressive riding style try the kawi 636 or a 04 gsxr 750

I thought the SV with clip on's had a more agressive riding postion than the 4Fi. 
Torque SV
HP 4Fi

Aftermarket is great for both bikes.   Take a ride on each and see what you are more comfortable riding.  Power / torque is not everything.

Unrelated but werid.  I had to ride my dad's yami 1100 silverado home from the dealer, had some warranty work done to it.  Sitting postion was more comfortable but my legs hurt from riding the 1100 where as on the gsxr I have never had that problem.   The gsxr was also eaiser to ride.  Maybe I'm just werid.

Im not into any of those bike. I like the look of both the SV and the F4i I sat on both and both are comfy for me. and I would never buy a yamaha or kawi, dotn like any of their bike that much.

If by "more aggressive" you mean "which is more incomfortable", then the SV by a long shot.  the CBR was designed with sport ergos from the get go.  The SVS feels like an afterthought.

Post by: natedawg120 on June 30, 2007, 03:27:25 PM
honestly I think that the SVS is a pretty comfy bike, but that is just me.  The F4i is also comfy maybe a little moreso than the SVS but that is because the seat is a little more plushy :laugh: :laugh:
Title: Re: which bike?
Post by: mach1 on June 30, 2007, 04:18:48 PM
So I went and sat on both bike today and both bikes a friggin light compared to the GS, Im leaning more towards the blue F4i but may get the yellow cuz I like to match my helmet. :icon_rolleyes:.  Im also looking at some cbr600rr's but still unsure from what I read about boht cbr's is the power is almost the same just minor differences but the f4i is more comfy than the rr. So we will see I still need to pay off the gs.

My wife chose the F4i as her birthday present in april. She like's the ergo's very much. The few times I have ridden her bike it feels very strange being able to sit up comfortably in comparison to the riding position on mine. Can't give you a comparo though since I havent had the chance to ride the SV. I am biased though and believe the F4i is the way to go.

you truly are dense mach1

neither is what you want if you're looking for an aggressive sport bike. cbr600rr, R6, Kaw 636, gsx-r6
I agree, any repli-racer is more agressive.  I had a GSX-R600 and loved it.  Some of my friends who ride new CBR600RRs complained about the comfort, and their bikes are alot more comfortable, but I like my Suzukis.  I rode the new Gixxer 1000 and its actually comfortable.  Its a little more compact riding position than the last gereration but its not to bad.

cbr does make a 750 but its not on their website for some odd reason.

HONDA does not make a cbr750rr... they used to make a cbr750 popularly known as the Honda Hurricane.

+1 for all of these.  The CBR will kill it in horsepower.  The first time I rode a I4 600 I was like, Holy Crap!!!  CBR will probably be a bit more upright, too.

This is such a trick question, I got the correct answer for ya...the fully-faired SV650 w/clipons is going to have more aftermarket mods.

Did I win?  What do I get?

2002 CBR 750R here is the link
http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/202476/
the guy who I used to work with just got a 2005 CBR 750R not RR sorry
On the side fairing it says CBR 750 Racing.
Title: Re: which bike?
Post by: ohgood on July 03, 2007, 04:18:00 PM
If you want a bike that LOOKS like a crotch rocket but is actually comfortable, check out the zzr600 or zzr700 (the 7 is older, but FI  - IIRC )

Don't forget about the fz6 and fz1 - they both rock, and roll easily.

I'm not really understanding buying a bike strictly on looks and no comfort though.

Good luck looking cool while your nads are squished.

dude, I don't know what bike that is.. but it's not a 750R... Google "2002 CBR 750R" there is not a SINGLE result. Don't you think that if such a bike existed, it would show up on google?
Title: Re: which bike?
Post by: bettingpython on July 03, 2007, 05:40:10 PM
Unless they were made and marketed over sea the CBR750 hurricane went out of production in the late 80's or early 90's. I have been riding honda's  for 22 years now.
And I will point out that this guy does not know what he is talking about.
http://w1.bikepics.com/pics/2004/07/18/bikepics-182087-full.jpg
The picture link above is not a 98 900rr it is a 2002 or 2003 954. I have one and that was the only 2 years the fireblade front end was shaped like that.

The bike in the front of this picture and in the one you posted is a 2000-2001 CBR929RR

The bike behind it is a Hurricane, of what size I do not know But you can pretty much bet it's not any newer than 1990.

Yeah, but you're a moron. So until I see a VIN sticker that says "2002 CBR 750R", I'm gonna continue to think that you're a moron. No offense. Once such a picture is provided, I shall rescind the moron title, and rename myself "jackass"... although, everyone already pretty much thinks I'm a jackass anyway.

Honda never had a CBR in a 750cc displacement. As race replicas, the CBR namesake came into being when it replaced the VFR Interceptor. The VFR was the 750cc V4 race bike that Honda used for factory competition. The CBR600F1 replaced the VFR nameplate, and the VFR was turned into more of a street/sport tourer rather than a race replica.

Summary - Honda's only 750cc sportbike was the VFR. You lose.

Actually. Correction, the CB750 was probably considered a sport bike at one point or another.

Not quite Alpha, I know 87 and 88  had the Hurricane CB750F Bud. But the Race replica 750 was the VFR750 :thumb:

I should have clarified. The CBR was never in a 750cc displacement as a race replica. As a sport bike, yeah, but the race replica CBR was the 600F1.

The CBR750F was known as the hurricane it was made in 1987 and 1988 it is a sportbike.  The only other 750 sportbike made by honda has evolved into a sport tourer the VFR750 was the AMA race bike fielded by Honda. Now there is the nighthawk CB750 not CBR which was a standard and not a sport bike.

You need to get an oldschool VFR then. I had an 85 750 man that was a badass bike.

Because you searched for a bike that existed. The CBR750 was an old school bike that is no longer in production. However, if you search for "2002 CBR 750" (the quotations mean that the search engine will ONLY find a site with an EXACT match for those words, just in case you never learned what a boolean search is), you will not find a single result. Because there is no such thing as a 2002 CBR750. So get us a picture of this vin sticker (be sure to blur out the vin though).

At least I know where the f%$king fuse is.

Jackass.
