Stop trying on boring heavy and dull commuter bikes! ;D

Have you sat on a new GSXR600 perchance? or a Z1000? Even the R6? If you insist on a non sports bike what about the new Kawasaki ER600 or whatever it's called.

All of these bikes are tiny. I am only 5'4" and I can sit flat foot in my leathers on a GSXR600, and it's really light to boot, unlike a CBF Honda. I'd go as far as to say, the new GSXR600 is smaller and easier to handle than an NC30 or NC35!

Go on, try one!

Must admit I sat on the GSXR600 and fitted it perfectly.

Unfortunately I have no money to buy one so will be sticking with the RVF

Problem with getting a sports bike is the big diferance in insurance prices

From past experience work out what seat height you need, and find a bike to suit. Proper lowering kits are very expensive, and there is always the change of balance/handling to think of especially with cheaper options. Rod

I need the bike for commuting really and as the old man is selling his bike to get 2 more I dont have a huge say in it all
Also it will be my first proper bike (after passing full licence) so insurance would be a stinger on a GSXR. Need summit cheap and cheerful to get some no claims.
At this rate i will just have to put some stabilisers on, then i wont have to worry bout putting my feet down :-[

It's looking like the seat foam options the best to go for till you find a bike perfectly suited to you. the cbf500 has got quite a chunkey seat hasn't it??
