Liter bike upgrade?

[latony007]

liter bike are 1000cc bikes.

oh, i wonder why. thanks

out of the ones you listed, Tuono would be my choice.

considering the $ you plan on spending, like others have said, don't just limit to either a 600 or 1000, there are a tons of others 750, 800 etc.

hard for me to buy anything now without test riding 1st, if you can't test a new one, unless its the 1st year model, try to get on a used one to see if you really like it

this may help your ergo selection

i agree about test riding, im not buying anything without test riding it from now on. Even if i have to wait for the motorcycle show to come back around. It was really nice out there with all the makes and models to try. Next year im out there at 9am signing up for every bike i can get my hands on.

1000cc(cubic centimeters) is equivalent to 1 liter.

If I had the dough I would go KTM RC8, that bike is BADASS. I've only ever seen one on the road/owned by someone. They are a rare animal.

Shut up all of you.

Everybody knows that the way to go is a DUCATI DIAVEL

Everything else is nonsense

I personally LOVE the look and wow factor of the Tuono but the forums I've read are scary. Plagued with problems and waiting for eternity on parts. I can't say much about the s1000r since I haven't seen one in person, but the reviews make it sound great and it looks awesome in red!

675r because I did test drive this on my friends bike, felt like hot knife through butter. Controls are spot on and my wrists aren't in a wierd angle like it is on the GSXR.

what problems with the Tuono?

forum member Hellgate has one

with you being in NYC, if NY doesn't have a good Aprilia dealer, you should be close to one

everything I've read on the ape forum reminds me of ducati when they were less popular with owners going out of their way to help each other for any support needed

Mainly hot restarts bolts screws turn signals coming off at high speeds. They make Tuono sound like a wild beast that would bust your balls to tame (literally).

well that makes sense lol. I didnt realize the internal is actually that small, at 1000 cc, thats about a half a bottle of coke. For some reason i thought 1000 cc would be bigger.

Thanks for the info

First of all, no one asked, what kind of riding do you do / intend on using it for?

If the FZ6R is the fastest bike you've owned, I would say the BMW might be overkill with triple the horsepower. A 600cc supersport will leave the FZ6R in the dust, a liter moreso. But if I were in your shoes and had the money, f*ck, I'd probably jump for the bimmer

GSXR 750 seems to be an amazing bike that many like, and the Honda CBR is supposed to be the most comfortable of the japanese ss. Got a friend with a triumph. Said it's worth it to upgrade to the R for a grand with adjustable suspension and BIG brakes. Ergos can't get much worse for comfort, but he loves his Daytona.

If you're looking for more power in a similar bike, FZ1, Ninja 1k.... but looks like you have your mind made up on a supersport.

My 2 cents, do with it as you will.

I thought the same way and ultimately decided on a GSX-R 750 for multiple reasons.

- Cheaper for insurance
- More useable power
- I'll never be able to use this bike to the most of it's ability anyway, so what's a 1k going to do for me that the 750 won't be able to?

Havent been on in a while but LOVE your picture NISMOS! Your Puppy? CUTE!!


I would look at the cost of the bike.
cost of insurance.
look very well at the maintenance requirements and be familiar with when certain things are due, like valves etc... (when I looked at the Ninja 1k, they are every 15k, where as the FZ6R is every 26k) so just figure maint. costs in also. See what one is the most affordable for you without finding you have to sell it because suddenly you cant afford something. AND BUY SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY and you can sit on for extended periods.

oh, i wonder why. thanks

Because of math

After u've had ur M1 license for over 3 years, it doesn't really matter if it's a 600 or a liter super sport. The insurance will be the same...

I think if you're curious about liter super sport bikes, then definitely go for it. 11k miles seat time on the 6R means u're more than ready. After about a year on my R1, I still can't really say that I love it over the R6 though. There are things that I madly love about both bikes. Straight line acceleration on the R1 is mind-blowingly fun. But flickability and precision on the R6 make canyons a blast.

If I had money growing out of my ears, I "might" consider the S1000RR. But, to me, it's slightly weird looking- with odd, asymmetrical headlights and non-matching fairings. And, at $18.5K otd, it costs almost as much as a Japanese compact car. Very few discounts on BMW's, and more mechanical issues & recalls for sure...

The R1 is not as polished a weapon, but it's hella lot cheaper and still a lotta fun. The cross plane sounds freaking amazing and it has headlights that stir your soul. Mine was under $12K otd, which is $6.5K less than the S1KRR. And, it comes with Yamaha reliability. For almost the same price as one S1KRR, I can own two Yamaha super sports. LOL. I'm honestly tempted to just keep both for as long as I can.

Definitely test ride all your prospects first if you can. And, follow your heart and your wallet.

Yea man! Thanks haha.

Are you sure about this? None of my friends have seen that, the liter bikes are always more, significantly.

If Yamaha end up making a Tupperware kit for the FZ09 with some clip-on... that would make a hell of a SS. That engine is unreal for the street. It's like having liter bike torque with 600SS top end.

 

[nismos14]

Tupperware kit for clip-ons? Lol what?

 

[Brock Kickass]

Yea man! Thanks haha.

My FZ1 is way cheaper to insure than a 600SS. Not sure if that's a Canada thing or what.

I guess I should put in a caveat. A touring 600 vs a touring 1000, and an SS 600 vs an SS 1000.

 

[MistahT]

Agree. The guys I know on liter bikes pay a TON for insurance.

 

[anticsd]

Quoted the tuono v4 for $58/mo full coverage and the 675r is $67. I don't know if thats a fair comparison between naked and supersport.

LOL :jerk:

I got that from another forum. Some of the Boys were ripping on a member that trade in his FZ8 for a CBR1K (SS). I tough that was hilarious... LOL

 

[Detrich]

Yep. In fact my R6 cost $70 less per year to insure than the R1.

Go figure. LOL.
