out of the two piccys the CBR looks far nicer

the question asked "Show me a cbr that looks as good." than a red pointy


if it was a yellow curvy V's the red CBR that might be differant

Fair enough. Nothing to do with recently buying a Honda then?

I do think that that I covered why some may find the CBR "better" in the looks stakes.

Personally, I've taken a step back from semi faired bikes... They're nether one thing or the other. I prefer a full on sports or touring fairing, or a completely naked look.

Actually, I think it's only fair we compare like for like, so here's a pic of my cbr in a similar state of undress to the sv..

thats why honda cover the engine up on there bike's cuz if fugin ugly.

You never redline the bugger in 3rd or 4th? The hairs on the back of my neck sure stood up

Can't agree more mate but I would say it's not a newbies bike. They're lumpy at low revs and they kick in at 8k compared to the honda 10k+. Anything above 10k on the kwak is superb. 159mph stock bike according to the book.

I was on track recently and some guys on 600rrs came up at the end of the session asking about my zx6r. Got some respect from them as they were a class above and they couldn't get near me accelerating out off the bends.

yea to an indicated 140ish but dunno what gear? if felt like 100 only the scenery was going by faster. i like twisty lanes not long fast straights.
