Uncle Punk Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 How in the hell does the CBR1100XX make it on a list with the other bikes for any kind of close comparison? It is subjectively the best looking and can get 200 miles out of a tank but has none of the qualities the others have for your stated intentions. Is this another matter of a mistaken 636=650 or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've commuted on my SV650 for 4 years now. It has Givi saddle bags, one of which is half full with my rain suit. Most of my driving is congested interstate, the rest is bombed out ghetto streets. I average 53mpg with my 05, I understand the 07+ bikes with dual ignition are better yet.There's more than enough power for the drive and it runs on 87. Lots of aftermarket, lots of room to customize if you wish. It's an overally great bike for commuting. Oh, get the N version with handlebars. It'll be much better for visibility.I ride without windshields because I hate them. You may feel otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Want and desireYou list bikes that are practical and serve your stated purpose then throw in a want and desire bike, doesn't make sense. The other bikes all handle way better, are lighter and have better ergonomics. You can surely do better for a want and desire bike than an outdated bike that was developed in the mid 90s and hasn't been sold for nine years.

Disclaimer Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Not to hijack, but I've always wanted a GSXR600, an S1000RR, a CBR1000RR and a giraffe.Which one would be most practical for my commute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 giraffe... you can sit on the head and see over the traffic, also better for off road use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedTriple44444 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 How about the DL650. It's the ugly, tall, comfortable version of the SV... very comfortable if you're tall. It's the best commuter I've ever owned. Stock 53mpg. Only about 62hp, but enough to do most everything well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapesmuggler27 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 All joking aside a busa would serve you well, the ergonomics on it are fairly comfortable for long rides, 45ish mpg iirc, very capable in the twistys, and plenty of power to spare. Down fall is price finding one at a good price is hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
