V4junkie Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I miss the VFR, but only a little bit. 8 hours was no problem. 6hrs on the R6 and I just wanted to crash so I could lay down for a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 You just can't put the 599 and 919 on the same list. That's like saying I think I'll get a 530i or an M5. Crazy I tell ya . . .(ridden a 919 on several occasions, similar in speed to my R6 with lots more torque) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I've had lots of bikes (20 or so). I will say the 919 has the finest STREET motor of any of them. Very linear power delivery, plenty of torque, not much shifting required. But as good as the motor is, the suspension is equally bad. The front is too soft, the rear is too stiff with too little damping (can you say pogo stick). Cornering at anything over 7/10th pace gets sketchy. Compared to my Buell...I was significantly slower on the 919, and was working harder to get the 919 through corners. Depending on your riding style, the 919 may be a good choice. It's a top notch commuter, a good sport tourer, & quick in a straight line. But if you enjoy leaning to the edge of your tires I would say look elsewhere.
