Mrs frodg hated them. The handling and feel was wrong for her but it could be right for you. The cc cruiser range is much bigger so you could get a better choice. You could get the scooter and not have to wear boots and jacket - just some high heels and summer dress Wayned Member.
Depending on your commute, it could be OK, but then I'll also second the Scorpio and add the Honda CBF the single cylinder local model , both light, small, cheap and which would do what the does, but with less effort.
Sish Member. Aug 26, 3 1 Adelaide State SA. Your post made me remember this video: This chick is only 4'11". She got the seat shaved, a 2" lowering link, and got thicker soles added to her boots and now she can flat foot the bike fine and has no problems. Don't give up, where there's a will there's a way.
Feb 5, 2 State VIC. Great post Sish, that was a great video. But the dealer was wiling to lower the forks? Two things:- 1 The weight of a bike is unimportant, except for when you drop it, and we're not talking about bikes that would be hard to get off the ground.
You only need one foot on the ground, even on uneven terrain. NC30 Member. They're slow, boring bikes. Look how many there are on BikeSales, everyone is trying to get rid of them. Get a VTR etc. Post reply.

Should I feel like a wuss if I've never dragged a knee? Oh, and too expensive. Basically too small for a , not ideal for 'big' people, slow and sluggish, all power at low end which is not what you want.
Also as said it is too overpriced for what it is. But if you want reliability then go for it. But don't expect to be blown away by performance. A top speed of around 75mph is not impressive. Have to say though that apart from a few niggles starting the RS a little while back it has been pretty good for reliability.
I reckon a lot of problems people have with them is that they're normally bought by young blokes who tend to neglect them a bit so of course a few problems arise.
Before you do go for the CBR though, I'd definately recommend a test drive. Also perhaps think about possibly a restricted Bandit or Hornet or something like that I'm guessing your about 17 as you're moving up from a 50cc as its quite common for people to get bored of a after a while with the speed or lack of it.
Im not over keen on them. Ok, Its a 4stroke so you are looking at between 70 and 80mph flat out. If your not after speed then Its still a bad bike if you are a big guy! They are small compaired to a CG For the simple reason a CG is designed as a reliable 4stroke bike for anybody to ride.
I was reading on the Honda site and the CBR was designed as a youngsters bike i. They are not bad bikes, it's just that Honda market them incorrectly putting them into the wrong category. For starters, it definately aint a supersports bike. It all depends what you want out of your bike.
Great suggestion RedBaron why didnt I think of that. I have to agree there. The CB also having a better top end of 80mph, also electric start the late 80's models so that should start on the button as you requested. AR quite uncommon now but still nice bikes for their moneys worth. Being a 2 stroke reliability is a question but for perfromance you know what to expect. I dont think I'd ever want to go back to a 2t, I just wouldnt ever feel save it wouldnt just blow up on me, Plus I hate the smell and the sound.
Which will be cheaper to buy and run, You'll probably find the ins wont be that bad either. Why does everyone think it will be better on reliablity than say an NSR?
However, nothing in your review suggests that Vancouver drivers are at all interested in keeping their eyes on the road or a safe distance between vehicles, so I will pass until such time that death or profound impairment seems like a great idea. I have a cbr grate bike have changed the handle bars from clip ons to strate ones so no more rist ache which is the only problem on long rides. Strange I see this bike ridden by every one But 17 year olds. Got the version, she's good..
I've never seen my bike do more then km on a full tank also avg top end speed is around km but have got it to km on a long run. We made eye contact as I waited in line at Revolver this afternoon. You smiled at me and then a Living Topics. JimmyDee Jul 8, at pm Holy Hell that's ugly. Cbr is very good build I would recommend this bike, do not buy the cbf what a load of poo lol. Facebook comments not loading? If you are flush with cash there is the Aprilia RS4, but it tends to be a bit on the expensive side.
Add to this a styling that, if you squint, looks a bit like a CBRRR and even carries a MotoGP-style Repsol paint scheme and it all ads up to an excellent little package. You may lack ABS on the Honda and radial brakes, but you get a fuel gauge, comfortable riding position and budget price tag alongside light and nimble handling. So with this in mind you need to approach a CBRR with a fair degree of scepticism and caution.
Look for scuffs and scrapes, focusing your attention on items such as the mirrors, bar ends and pegs as well as the obvious fairing panels. And check the oil level, is there a cobweb on the end of the dipstick or is it nice and topped up? Now look at the brake pads to see if they have life in them, the state of the discs as so many s suffer scored discs due to excessive pad wear and also the forks and shock for damping.
The CBRR is a budget bike, so expect these areas to start to be suffering on higher mileage bikes — not all teenagers are skinny! If all these areas are good, start the bike up and look for any smoke and listen for rattles that may indicate it is on the brink of something unpleasant happening, ask when it was last serviced it should be every miles and ensure all the MOT points such as electrics, horn, tyre life etc are all ok.
If you think not, take some money off your offer. The bike remained unaltered aside from paint from until when it gained a new CBRRR-style fairing with more angular twin lights and fuel-injection added to the motor to allow it to meet Euro3 emissions regulations. This generation remained unchanged until saw the introduction of Euro4 regulations, which eventually killed off the CBRR as Honda replaced it in their model range with the retro-styled CBR instead.
