[kori]

if u dun go track or not planning to.. better to get a fazer or touring bike for use in singapore.. class 2 sportsbikes are practically underutilised in singapore..

Yup.. I totally agree... Both of these bikes are great for track and it won't show its full potential on normal roads in SG. But ultimately it all sums down to what you really like and want and wish to get...

[redders]

if u wan the latest there is also r607..i believe oredi out...

[mamu27]

got countless comparisons avail 4u 2read online, here in this forum or internet.

do a search for it!

 

neway, a quick highlight.

 

i downgrade from 1litre bike to 600cc

 

altho both are sports bikes. the later needs to be high rev. not so suited for start-go traffic in singapore.

 

the former got good power on hands.. but pls be careful how u turn u right wrist.

 

750cc they say gives u the best of both worlds. handling of 600cc but with a Litre bike power.

[thomas_yagami]

750 rules.750 is the choice for me ! as 4 u ,u decide....................

[redders]

yeah i oso believe a k7 750cc is a good buy too.. u can have the comfort of both worlds i.e 600cc and 1000cc..

how much is the yearly road taX?

[myxilplix]

If you compare the power/torque curves of the two bikes, and since you won't be tracking it, i'd say the GSX-R is more suitable for you.

i'm totally areed wif u... in sense of FC a tourer is also more economical den a sport bike...

For street, I'd recommend street riding bikes like Fazer (especially the 1000), CB1300, Diversion and etc. These bikes have good low to mid range torque/power, so you do not have to rev as high or change as much gear just to get into the right power zone to throttle out of panic situations.

 

They have good maneouverability also, suspension is plush and have enough stroke to handle the road unevenness. Riding posture is also more ergonomical. Definitely capable of taking out most sport cars from launch to 200km/h range. Getting a sportsbike would mean that you have to endure the extreme heat generated by the engine and enduring proning-down positions depending on the distance of your ride, sweat like hell.

Not forgetting tourers look great with boxes too to put raincoats and other misc stuffs.

Sportbikes no boxes, cannot put raincoat etc...

Rain jialat.

 

Don't let a moments' gianness make u make a wrong choice.

 

Get a tourer!

or just get a zx14 or a hayabusa..

 

haha jus joking..since u dont go track then fazer would be a good choice..be it the 600 or the 1000..the riding posture also not pain in the back..good for trips up north..
