Hi... i am a RVF rider... jus to answer ur qns... y RVF is so popular... it is depending on each desire... if u really go for speed, CBR will be a wiser choice as it can clock more than 240 km/hr...
but wat i like about rvf is the unique sound that it has... whenever u start ur bike, everyone know that its RVF... same as PGM4 when it clutch in... although RVF top speed is not so good as CBR, its pick up will confirm win... tested and proven...
if u all realise, RVF is higher and shorter compare to CBR... with its pro arm, cornering is more stable than CBR...
previously when i was thinking of which bike to get, CBR really tempted me due to its price... 1 1/2 CBR = 1 RVF... but now i got my RVF, i didnt regret cos it is really a good bike... i am able to control my bike very well when corneriong...
i believe that if all of u have this qns in mind, u should really try RVF... and you will know y so many pple are willing to pay that price jus to get a 10 year old bike...
[correct me if i made a mistake]
upzzz for all RVF rider....
