Hello all,
Well I have been looking around the bike market for a new bike for the last 3 months.
My past bike list follows;
1989 Yamaha FZR250r
1990 Honda CBR400rr
1989 Suzuki RGV250
However I havent been able to find a bike that fits me. Im near 6ft3..not the skinnest guy on earth..ao finding a bike to fit my frame isnt easy. I rode my dads 2002 XJR1300 and it was PERRRRFECT for me..however not having my full licence rules that out. My Yamaha was an OK fit but not nice when I was in the 100km/h areas...CBR was better by like 2.5% and the RGV...was like being on a 5 year olds push bike.
Do you peps have any advice regarding good bikes for me...I can't go and size any up because our town has 2 very small motorcycle shops that carry ATVs and the odd road bike. I was thinking about a Hyosung because of the size but after reading what I have it seems they wont handle the abuse well. Ive also looked into Hornets like GI Joes one but they are so over priced.
Im very interested in a CBR600 F2 :scooter: ...however its the licence thing again. Even though I will have my full by the end of the year.
Any ideas guys?
