Re-NEW member - looking for which bike to buy

  

SavageI -> Re-NEW member - looking for which bike to buy (6/15/2008 12:09:37 PM)

Hey Guys (and girls),

So... my bike got stolen a couple of months ago and I haven’t been back to the forum since. At the time I thought it was a blessing in disguise (high interest, not riding much) but now I am pretty much losing my mind. I NEED another bike and I would appreciate your input. I have learned some things since I was a complete noobie when I bought my ''04 F4i. That bike is a complete B*^$H to mod. Engine mods are few and far between, you can''t add swing arm spools, I had to cut my plastics to add frame sliders... as all of you know, the list goes on forever. From the limited research I have done, I am bouncing between 2 bikes. EITHER 1000RR or R1. Side note: I know I am on a Honda forum, but this community has been good to me for the past 3 years and I figured this was a good environment for me to ask this question... I really don''t sway either way too much. Even though she was difficult, I loved my F4i, so I think I want to stay with Honda. But, I know the R1 is pretty popular, so I swing that way as well. Does anyone have any recommendations in regards to which one I should get or if there is another liter bike that I should be looking into as well? I am not looking to buy a new bike, maybe ''03-''04??? I want only want to spend about $7,000. ANY input (other than flaming) would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I couldn''t tell which liter bike to get but I would just like to throw out the new 600rr are AMAZING! and it might be something you could look into.

There are plenty of upgrades for the 1kRR and the 600RRs out there.  And you should be able to find a good 04 to 06 in that price range with a bit of $$ left over for schtufff.

IMHO- The yami has a better looking bike, but its power doesn''t really hit until you are in the higher RPM''s. Honda''s power hits much lower which makes it a LOT more fun. I have NEVER looked back. I absolutely LOVE this bike!

Good luck with your decision.

I''ve owned an ''06 R1 and just bought an ''08 CBR 1000 and can honestly say that yes - while the Yamaha does look nice - in my opinion it doesn''t ride near as nice.  I''m not just talking about performance but the whole experience.  I think the CBR is more comfortable and a little more smooth at the same time.  To me - looks are important but very subjective because they generally all look pretty bad ass!!! :)

If you can get an oppportunity to try them both - do it... I think you''ll like the CBR a tad better.

Yea, you guys have a good point on these two types of motorcycle.. I miss my Cbr.. Ridding a 05 Raven R6 now..
