Which bike will you choose?

[Guest 60KMH]

Which bike will you choose? This are the bikes I shortlisted when I upgrade to Class 2. Personally I like Honda CBR1100XX. It got a feeling of Semi touring and semi sportsbike...

[Duper_four]

can share what so good abt this bike???

[EVOIIIGSR]

well ... its purposely built as a sports tourer ... so there you have it ...

 

a sports bike with complete fairing and all ... with enuff usable power

 

and a seat posture comfortable enuff for daily and touring up north ...

 

the above info is what i learnt from the reviews of Motorcycle Daily ..

 

other than that the insurance shud be cheaper for a 600cc ...

[Kman]

yup its a bit of everything...

[IceZ]

i wonder y so many ppl choose r1/r6...tis thread is bout touring...not racing leh....lolx...n where is vfr800?

[indralove]

I tour with my R1, I go PG with my R1, I go werk with my R1.

 

R1 is light weight, inline engine( save petrol even u speed). easy to squeeze when u in kl jam. and ... i dunno y my gf told me she's more comfortable pillioning me on R1 than on my K2. maybe pillion's seating position.

 

i used to ride GSXR400 to Malacca ... quite tiring ....

 

I used to ride GSXR1000K2 to KL, GF complain back pain .

 

I used to ride Varadero1000, cannot speed max 200km/h, petrol suck many2. then in KL jam....wah piang eh! cannot squeeze then heavy cannot push.... got side box, cannot squeeze .... as good as dead in the jam

 

Now i ride R1, my gf seem to join me in corners, and participate in any occassions like bend forward when i speed up ..

[jerryGSR]

no price guessing which bike i choose.......

[Lass]

i voted for busa as well cos it's comfy. though the african twin is not bad too but i think it looked awful! i always got an issue w big big headlights keke....but tat's just me

[loranto]

hayabusa

till now no complain by my wife even travelled up to genting..

[nivleK1985]

haya. but ST also a sports tourer, y not in list ?

[kelvin_luffs]

haya is my pick..

[Andy]

aa..... CBR600F4 touring version counts?

 

Since its touring version, shd be suitable for touring.

[nicky69hayden]

Sometimes a bike which is being put out there in the market is for a particular market. If u r adventurous try to mix it out.

 

I have a feeling u want a bike that does all what the rest of the bikes listed could do, rite. But the truth is theres none. Theres always pros and cons; haya great speed, comfortable but heavy bulky at low speed. R1 lightweight great engine but more of a track machine....... catch my drift.

 

But if u really want a touring bike that is damn good, i recommend 04' BMW GS 1200. A sportbike engine in a off-road tourer chasis

 

Juz my point of view.

[Sols]

get ducati 999 or 749 lah... lol...

 

can adjust everything to your needs... lol...

 

wanna go track, adjust for track... wanna go touring, adjust higher abit... lol...

[hafizdyfectra]

get a vfr800, very swee sports touring bike..

VFR 800 will suit your criteria. a tourer that handles like a sportsbike. not too bulky. better posture than haya or CBRX. hmm... cheaper insurance than the later. not too huge for singapore rd too

 

there are 600cc that is built for touring, but then again, even tho you can keep up with the bigger cc, 600cc engine will be a bit stressed.

 

depends on wat suits you exactly. i find that R1 is too light for high speed up north. If high speed on NSW .... without considering comfort, go for haya or blackbird ermm... or ZX12.

 

VFR interceptor

 

i just love honda engine. even tho i'm on a gixxer now

[Tortise]

I choose RXZ:cheer:

 

[LimHammett]

i chose honda for reliabilty! and for touring purposes i tink blackbird has the best FC for long distances and the riding position is more comfortable..i dunno but if i had to rife a R1 to thailand...i would break my back! hahaha!

 

no offense to R1 man.. its a beaut!
