Re: Eyeballs
Fibbs - when did you come to make this decision then? Was it after I told you how good it was and how the ride position was so good last week? You didn't too interested in the 600RR when we were speaking the other day!

Re: Eyeballs
Hoff - when I spoke to you I already had a test ride booked for Friday, but as it was raining I changed it to the Sat. Been thinking awhile, but test ride made it a no brainer

I must admit that as a vertically challenged individual the CBR is much more confidence inspiring as the weight is lower down and the bike is lower in general making slow manouvers and reversing much easier. Of course the question will be (if I get the Honda job) 600RR or Fireblade!

Re: Eyeballs
Chatting to you and all the positive posts on another thread where no one actually said "Don't do it" helped a lot in swaying my decision too.
At the NEC I'd sat on various bikes 600RR was most comfy, being only 5'5'' I was not too keen on R6 and was bit amazed how uncomfortable the 08 fireblade was. Mind.. that is way too powerful for me! And I'd looked into the avenue of saving the money and perhaps doing some upgrades to suspension, etc.. and even found JHS racing who seem quite experienced with SV mods. But the CBR got the better of me. Fingers crossed for the job |

Re: Eyeballs
You will absolutely love it. End of.
Anyone who says that the SV is better or that the CBR is not for inexperienced riders obviously hasn't riden one.

Re: Eyeballs
Is there a difference between "don't do it" and "it's a Honda" ?
