Supersports 600's - SV650.org

17-05-05, 10:23 PM

There's a lot of comments been made recently about the performance of SS600's so I just wondered how many of you have actually ridden one (and I mean ridden, not just taken it around the block!)

wheres the no answer?

17-05-05, 10:24 PM

Nope

TSM · 17-05-05, 10:31 PM

nop, never owned another bike other than the SV

BillyC · 17-05-05, 10:42 PM

Nope.. but never claimed anything about a IL4 either!

does the CBaaarrgghh get classed as a ss600?

In which case, yes.

And tbh there are differences which you cant really compare, and I liked each for those different reasons but I love the SV more. I was less likely to lose my licence on it for starters.

However, I dont think the SV would have withstood the impact into the van as well as the CBR did...

Although never having owned a ss600, I've use the two in the family frequently (cbr600f 2002 model / SRAD 600).

also ridden within this catagory.
zx6 2002
zx636 2004 model
gsxr600 2002
R6 2001
Daytona 600 (haven done the 650 yet)
zzr 600 (well not a supersport i know)
at a minimum an hour on each, although some a great deal more.

So what are you after then Steve ?

Cheers Mark.

Posted: Yes!

I had a test ride on a CBR600RR and covered 80 miles so a bit more than a spin round the block. Also rode an 05 plate ZX636R recently. I was really seriously considering a SS600 as my next bike, but I am now not 100% convinced. Sure they are addictive at the top end, but low and mid range feel weak. It really is horses for courses, but I am stuck between going for a SS600 and a V-twin 1000cc bike.

Never

But one day... though an IL4 1000 is more tempting
