vel_tins Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 The thing is, some days ago, I could try a CBR 150 (ok not a NSR, but same Size) from a friend. But it seems, I am either to big (near 190 cm) or too old, or maybe both...after 10 minutes of riding, my legs felt numb and I didn't want to go one meter more. I suspect, a sportsbike which fits my size, is more in the 750cc and up, range. But as I like those 2-Stroker (and their power), why not look for an alternative? And not forget..its only a toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not forget..its only a toy The CBR is narrower and shorter, or feels that way when when sitting on it, Comparing to a 750cc bike is useless, apples and oranges, unless you plan to buy one You can put higher bars on the NSR - my friend did it to his CBR and so he sits upright he really likes it. If you want a 2 stroke continue your search for an SP or RR. One that runs properly or mildly modified (pipe) will put a grin on your face and adrenaline in your veins. CBRs are boring in comparison.

vel_tins Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) ....... CBRs are boring in comparison. Agree, the "feeling" when riding this Bike, was really boring, and unfortunately painful. But I tested this CBR only, because of the similar Seat Position. I am sure you can't compare the engines, as the NSR has much more power, and probably a completely different power curve. Yeah, when I remember my old Yammy RD 350 in Germany. A real beast, that was pure adrenalin, sometimes better than S*x..

Wow. A Yamaha RD350 or RZ350 (water cooled version) can hardly be called a beast. I've owned 4. Or maybe you're comparing it to a Honda wave? Or maybe you've never ridden a modern 1000 cc sportbike. I have to disagree with your choice of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 25 or more years ago...not talking from nowadays. And as you stated before: "apples and oranges" Edited May 5, 2011 by vel_tins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
