Sports Bikes and Cruisers

[skyscorcher]

Hi bros just wanna ask whether when u change froma cruiser bike like phantom to a sports bike, are there any differences?

 

Well i am riding phantom but when i get my cl 2 i hope to change to a GSXR600, also trying to prepare not to be shocked by differences.

 

I know there is another thread talking about sports and naked bikes but maybe some bros out there who made the transitions can share their experience.

Riding style between sports and chopper is totally different.

Besides, you cant expect a chopper rider to run over 250kmh..

i've neither ridden choppers nor sports bike... but SAT ON THEM before.

 

the immediate difference between that 2 would be riding posture...

 

you're in a more 'attack' position when riding a sports bike...

 

whereas a cruiser is more 'laid-back'... so it'll kinda affect your riding experience initially.... but you'll soon get used to the backaches.... haha...

just the comfortable cruising speed is a pretty big difference. not to mention u-turns.

haha i too used to leaning out on my phantom when i turn, almost treat it like a scrambler le. i really dun think think can do that on a sports bike.

Heh. Gotta get used to it. That's all I can say.

 

I once owned an R1, Super4, and Phantom at one go. So I got used to 3 different riding postures. Nowadays, I'm quite comfy on any bike (except scoots)

i own an sp but have tried phantom b4. the feel is different but as far as i am concerned i find it quite easy to adapt from one type of bike to another so i don't think it's much of a problem.

haha i just hope i dun buang a new bike the first time i ride. I think the feeling will be like taking a knife and stabbing ur heart.

hey hope that doesn't happens.. anyways it would be better if u have any contacts riding a sportsbike..try out their bikes 1st.. but i think that e problem u're gonna faced is e riding posture as wat e other forumers said..n oh yeah prepare for lot of backaches..

Not used to it.

 

Hate the feeling of not being able to drop gear for more Ooomph. I like the feeling of being in total control, and not partly a passenger.
