Default Re: Had a go on a CBR600RR

I felt the same when I sat on a 2011 R1 and an older ZX6R and both of them felt like I was perched on top of them. My dad's ZX7R on the other hand felt amazing! Although the rear was too high and the front was too low for my liking, just because I had to look up so far that I got a neck cramp haha but I didn't have that problem on my old ZXR400

Default Had a go on a CBR600RR

Maybe I'm just so used to the riding position that I don't notice, but I don't have a feeling of being perched on top particularly. It's definitely head down, **** up but once accustomed to the riding position I felt extremely integral to the bike.

Obviously being a supersport its not what you'd call comfy but honestly it's ok for 200-300 miles in a day. Mines a 2008.

You do just get used to a particular pose.
Took me ages to get into the tigers upright ,feet more forward position.

I've read reviews that have always complimented GSXRs on the way that you sit in them, rather than on them. Perhaps it's a Suzuki thing.

I wouldn't agree totally there.

GSXR's are like most sports bikes a*se up/head down with weight on the wrists.

In what I have experienced they are not as extreme as some and I found the CBR the more "comfortable."

My R6 is not the best, but, from those I have sat on it went (in order of comfyness) CBR > GSXR > ZXR > YZFR

Might not be the seating position, simply the geometry of the fairing and/or tank.

Can't agree or disagree unless someone wants to lend me a GSXR.

Someone?

Anyone?

depends on the years you ride IMO, newer bikes seem to be more of a "perch on top" position. The new R1 feels like you're sat on the tank.

I personally can't get along with newer sports bikes, I find them too small. I found the big bang R1 more comfortable than the normal version (prior 3cyl) and i very nearly bought one, but my wallet sprung shut like Arkwright's till

I could be persuaded to part with my RR if someone wants to form their own opinion of one 😉.

I'd gladly take it for a ride, purely for scientific purposes of course!

You can take it for as many rides as you like! You can even keep it in your garage and have the logbook put in your name if you want?








...for the right price of course 😉 But seriously, I've been thinking lately about letting it go.
