Re: New Honda CBR- RR
I fully understand that. Seen it too many times as well where people lock their arms straight, its awful!! But entry level bikes are the honds CBFs, kwack Zs and whatever else they have for 250/ 300cc, not something that has got the RR model in it.
But my own opinion of it

Re: New Honda CBR- RR
Have you sat on one of these small sports bikes? It's like riding an arm chair. The bars are not at all in a sporty position and are still a very cmfortable commuting angleKwacky wrote:Having low bars on such a small bike makes it incredibly cramped.

Part of that is because everything else is smaller but the rider remains the one constant. They have to finagle the ergonomics a little more than usual.

These smaller bikes are aimed more at the Asian market where they're massive sellers.

Re: New Honda CBR- RR
Didn't realise that they were aimed for asian market, why can't we get a nice British version, kinda like how the Japs have their own versions of cars. Slightly tweek things here and there

Re: New Honda CBR- RR
We had the import 400s which were screamers. Why don't they do that again, so much fun and always felt like a hoot when you swung your leg over. I want them back

Re: New Honda CBR- RR
They were around because of the licencing laws in Japan. It was really hard to get a licence to own anything bigger than a 400cc.

Re: New Honda CBR- RR
I don't mind that. Japs had a great time on those things I bet! My 400RR was a cracker. Wish they were modernised 4 cylinder screams 100brake superb.

Knowing the KTM throttle response, I bet that's a right hoot to rideC00kiemonster wrote:Rossgo wrote:I don't mind that. Japs had a great time on those things I bet! My 400RR was a cracker. Wish they were modernised 4 cylinder screams 100brake superb.

Re: New Honda CBR- RR
I don't believe that would have the same feel as a inline 4 screamer. It may very well be good but don't think it would be that good in my opinion.C00kiemonster wrote:Rossgo wrote:I don't mind that.
