    For those of you wondering if you can daily a sport bike. The answer is YES. Depending on how much you ride and what kind of shape you are in, your body will take about a month to adapt to the riding position. There is always the option to change clip ons and rear sets to improve comfort.
    One more thing, proper riding position is important. If your levers are not adjusted properly and you keep your weight on your wrists, you will be miserable lol.
    Ride with your legs and core holding you up, not your wrists.

      I was so afraid of super sports all my life for all this exact missconceptions. I stayed on nakeds for almost 8 Years until i fell in love with a R1. Now i dont wanna miss it for a minute. And you are right, once you adapt, it works like a charm. What took me weeks to "unlearn" trying to lean on my handlebars with my wrists. Once i learned from an advanced racer how to keep upright hugging the tank and activating my back muscles during riding all the pain in my wrists stopped. Now i regularly tour 300-400 km on it, no issues. The only righfull argument thats left is if you have chronic issues with your back or with your knees. Dont think theres anything to do about that....

    I don't care what all the Harley brothers say, but to me, sport bikes are the pinnacle of style and 'presence' in motorcycles. Even people that are not into motorcycles will understand the "coolness" of sport bikes. And I honestly think the CBR is up there. Just like single sided swingarms, an undertail exhaust does not make logical sense, but it is so damn cool! That's also why, for me personally, the Ducati Panigale V2 is so cool! I don't even want a Ducati or a big V-twin sport bike, but I just like the styling with the single sided swingarm so much! (yes Ducatistas, I know they call it an L-twin, I said what I said). Couple the aggressive sport bike styling (miss the winglets though), with the sick colour scheme and the undertail exhaust and you have an amazing aesthetics package. Yes, people stopped buying sport bikes because standard/naked bikes became so good, but most people cannot deny that sport bikes will always have the best 'presence', period. Can you daily a sport bike? Yes, you can get used to anything, but logically and practically it's at the bottom of the list lol.

    • @MrBrutekracht
      @MrBrutekracht 2 месяца назад

      @@stoychopopov83 I would say packaging, length & weight. The catalytic converter is usually placed underneath the engine nowadays because of packaging and efficiency (I believe). That's why for example the Yamaha MT07 and MT09 just dump the exhaust in front of the rear wheel. There is no longer a need for a large muffler with those catalytic converters. As such, placing the end of the exhaust underneath the seat instead of underneath the engine or next to the rear wheel you are making it unnecessarily long, heavy and complicated to package, since most of the filtering & muffling work has been done underneath the engine already. I suspect the MotoGP just dumps the rear cylinder bank of the V4 straight back, which would make the most sense and end up as an undertail exhaust (and MotoGP requires no catalytic converters and hardly any muffling). But the CBR600RR is an inline 4 and as such has to route the exhaust underneath the engine regardless, so to route back up to the exhaust makes no practical sense. And I absolutely LOVE Honda for sticking with the styling and heritage of the undertail exhaust even though it doesn't make any sense! As for symmetry, that is not a high enough priority with today's noise and emission requirements I'm afraid.

    For accomplished riders it is probably a great option for shorter rides - that’s a subjective term. Say up to two hours. If you are a current or ex racer or say an experience road racing (push bike rider) then you likely have the flexibility and core strength for much longer rides. There’s probably others that could accomplish that too but definitely not everyone.

      That's about right. Insurance companies know that these new 600cc bikes will be wrecked in vast numbers by riders who go fast.

      ZX-6R is a slightly bigger motorcycle. It also has some more grunt. The Kawasaki is ride by cable, unlike the Honda (hence quick-shifter only up on the Ninja), so take that into consideration.
      The Kawi has a fuel gauge (seriously Honda, WTF?) and I feel the brakes are ever so slightly better on the Kawasaki. I also think the Ninja is marginally smoother. Also, the under seat exhaust on the Honda looks awesome, but in a hot day in traffic, you'll feel the heat. All in all, they are both great machines. Not made for long trips, neither commuting, but if you are willing to love them, these bikes are awesome. So glad to see they ain't fully extinct just yet.
