Im in the process of buying a bike and Im looking for some advise. I took a motorcycle safety and training class last December and then got my license in January. I have ridden once since the class; I rode an FZ1 about a month ago. I was very comfortable and confident on that bike. These are the three bikes Im interested in:
Yamaha R6
Suzuki GSX-R600
Suzuki SV 1000
Ive always been into sport bikes, a lot of my friends ride and they all have sport bikes. Now that I am finally ready to buy Ive been going out to doing some research. I went to a big dealer yesterday just to sit on everything and see what fits me best. Tonight I went and looked at my friends '06 GSXR600 that he is selling, I got to take it out for a ride and try it out. My absolute favorite bike is an 03-05 R6/R1 raven edition, but after trying out all these bikes, Im starting to think that I am just too big for a normal sport bike, which is why Im looking into the SV. When I sat on the SV I felt comfortable, just like when i rode the FZ1. WHen I rode my friends GSXR, I felt ok, but it felt small. Within the first hour of riding the FZ1, I took it up to 110mph and it felt fine, while on the GSXR, I did not feel like I even wanted to go on the freeway.
Are any owners of the above bikes in here? Any guys in here about my size that ride sport bikes? Im looking for some personal info on these bikes, specifically the SV.
