CBR900RR/919RR vs SV1000S

[AllanB]

Aw christ the old carb v injected argument.

Get a injected bike - period. Put petrol in your tank, turn key, ride. Period. Modern injection is bloody fantistic stuff.




Between the two bike - get the Honda - if you find a clean one and look after it it may indeed become valuable in the years to come. A iconic bike that changed the market.

Well someone said zx9, so ill throw a zx7 in the mix got a haines manual I could sell to you if you need it ...

V tidy ZX9R just advertised on here too, I liked mine much more than the blade.

Could be worth considering.

Well worth adding to the list, I'd rather have one than an early blade, they've got more snot than an SV and being a 4cyl will be better on gas.

I don't think you can get a ZX7 for $5k.

Getting close tho

The ZX7 is like the ZX9, a big old heavy piece of shite. If you're going the old route, get the blade or an SRAD.

I've seen that the CBR is a little down on power compared to the ZX9R, but that doesn't really worry me seeing the CBR is a fair bit lighter as well. The CBR900RR seems to be the lightest bike in its class for that kind of price. I've made up my mind. I'll sell my 250 and get a 900RR. I bet it's going to be wheelie fun!

Ride some 600s too, they're top fun because you can wring them out good in more places.

I would buy the original 92 model.. the rest are nothing special.

Test ride an tl1000s..

Blade is really good at wheelies. And stoppies.
Very stable.
Unlike Ducatis.

SV is a bit vague in the front, nice bike for sport touring very comfy

[nonferrous]

completely agree with what others have said - I had a 92 blade from new "superb" then went to 09 SV from new - what a disappointment and I sold it immediately

Test ride a big twin sports bike as well though. They're good fun and well worth a try.

Blade is really good at wheelies.

I have a CBR919 it has just over 120,000km on the clock and the thing runs like new, starts every time no issues what so ever. I am told that the 954 handles much better so that could be a go. I paid 4 for my CBR919 2 years ago and done over 30,000km on it.

Bah humbug! 954 'blade was a ripper, light as buggery (lighter than the 600F4i of the time) and gave the fingers to the "Honda has no personality" argument. Might be a lil' outside the budget though.
