ohiomike Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Best to just go out and test ride the different bikes that interest you, then come back and ask some here about the pro's and con's of those you prefer. Of the sportbikes I have see, Yamaha makes a couple that look good as does Ducati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the sportbikes I have see, Yamaha makes a couple that look good as does Ducati.basically this except do what I used to do:step 1) find a smoking dealstep 2) ride it and determine if you like itstep 3a) like it? keep it!step 3b) don't like it? Flip it for more than you paid or at very least break even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) KTM RC8RAdjustable ergos for the street (pegs, subframe, bars) and good for track days. Too aggressive, go with SuperDuke or SMR."Ergonomically speaking, the KTM is more adjustable than an Aeron chair. Clip-on bars provide a few inches of vertical variation, and the footpegs offer high and low positions as well. The brake and shift lever toe pieces are three-position adjustable, and the hydraulic clutch and front brake levers offer five settings. The RC8's saddle is very supportive and, with the footpegs set low and the handlebars raised high, the bike provides a level of comfort superior to any competitive sportbike." http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/features/122_0811_ducati_1098_vs_ktm_rc8_1190/viewall.html Edited August 16, 2012 by Revelstoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSparky Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Keep the r6, and make it comfier! I just put on progrip 714s like I used to have on the 650, and they alone make my rides better. For $10.Maybe I'm not as crazy as you, but I've never felt the "need" to rev it to the limiter... it goes pretty quick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
