Is a Super Middleweight Sportbike Right For You?

[@dmrobello9441]

I've ridden Ducati 750's, 851's, 900's, Honda 900's, 929's, 954's, Kawasaki 750's, Suzuki 650's, 750's, Kawi 900's. They have all left me wanting. They feel a bit hollow. Strange way to put it, but that's how I feel. I am fairly practical in life, for the most part. But, when I ride, I want a literbike. I want it all. It feels complete. I like the feeling. I like the nature of it, how it rolls, sounds, moves, and how I work with it. If I want to ride easy, it rides easy. When I want to roll it out I can do so with authority. Most of the time I have everything in between. And that's it, I have it all, all the time. What a freedom. It's the only place in the world I get that. Not every day, but when I can It's a magic carpet ride. I wish everyone could feel that way. Merry Christmas B! You're a good man. You put a a lot of good out in the world every day. You bring a lot of us together. You educate and bring everyone around you up. I wish you good health and happiness.

I agree. And Merry Christmas and great health to you as well! I appreciate the kind words and wishes.

Ducati Streetfighter V2? I would go GSXR 1000 class myself, or the Kawasaki Ninja H2R. But, mid class Bikes are fun, like 750s, etc. I just love the versatility of the modern sport Super Bikes, they can cruise smooth and comfy, or take you to Hell...lol

@@HardRockVermont it's my understanding the new Street Fighter V2 is going to utilize the same engine that will power the new V2 panigale. As well as the multistrada.

I really want to ride a few different sport bikes this year to see how they all feel. I love my mto7 and am leaning towards the R9. I am interested in how the Honda and Suzuki's ride compared to the R9.

I've enjoyed the absolute shit out of my 03 GSXR750 on the street..I'm not at all into track days but I wouldn't mind tinkering with the youngins a bit..

I have a question for you, Professor B. I'm a short old guy, what would be a good bike for me. I'm not gonna be setting any land Speed Records and probably only go fast in a straight line once in a while. But I do want something fun and also something that I don't have to tippy toe getting too old for that

[@bmasontv]

@@michaelbuteau4183 there are a few that come to mind but it depends entirely on the type of motorcycle that you like. If you like a retro aesthetic, it's really hard to be a z900rs. A Triumph Speed twin can fit nicely as well. As far as sportbikes go, you can never go wrong with a GSXR 750. In terms of cruisers, one of the most popular hot rods out there is the rebel 1100. I'm going to be doing a review on that bike and am actually very much looking forward to it.

Same boat. I’m considering a gsxr750 or a Cbr 600rr. Will have it lowered an inch or two and for my riding, it’ll be fine and comfortable. I want the sport bike in-line 4 and will make it happen before I can’t do it anymore. Good luck.

They just gave the belt to Suzuki with this facade idk why they chose this route

[@garydickson9669]

As a GSX-R 750 owner these bike's are slower. Yes the teck is better but the bike is slower😮 Hard Pass on them!I would rather have a 600.
