I agree totally. my next bike will be the ZX10R. on a track the BM & ZX would have the advantage. in the real world your local twisties the midrange of the Blade does make it an easy bike to ride. Ive got a 675R have trouble finding roads that you can ride that to its full potential. anyway who cares I think all the litre bikes are excellent. I would be happy to be given any of them. does'nt matter what you own, long as ya got ya arse on a bike !

I hear what you're saying. I started off on a CBR 600RR and there was a build quality to it that the Suzuki doesn't quite have. I just seem to feel more confident on Honda's. I've only ridden Honda & Suzuki tho. Some prick wrote my 2010 gixxer off and I've seen these 2012 blades going for around £7800 now (trade price). I'll probably end up going back to Honda.

Also true. But that little edge the honda has when it comes to just opening up the throttle; last only a couple seconds. Then the bmw and zx10 fly by it after that. So the midrange power isn't really an advantage at all over the other bikes. In my opnion.

@karlhungus89468 жыл бұрын
+J eL What advantages are offred by a V4 versus an inline 4? Does this provide for a power advantage, or is it just a weight-distribution/CG thing?
@JethroRose8 жыл бұрын
Karl Hungus power delivery is smoother due to better engine primary balance. amount of power is much of a muchness disadvantage: packaging, 2 cylinder heads, basically more expensive to build
@JethroRose8 жыл бұрын
Not really. The VFR800 has less power than the CBR600RR and in terms of torque for displacement makes less torque per CC as well (62nm for 599cc vs. 75nm for 782cc). vs the blade it isn't even close, the blade has 112nm for 999cc (for the 08-11)

Honda supersports in general are more road focused with more midrange punch and a more comfortable ride. Most supersports owners (myself included), won't ever take their bikes on the track. I don't need to make all my power up top, and if I did, I'd buy an R6 instead of my CBR600RR.

The difference between a modern sportsbike and a modern cruiser/tourer alone is massive in terms of capability. They'd make a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 feel shite in comparison (no disrepect intended). You'll fall in love with the handling/power delivery of a modern sportsbike.
