Well you're certainly favouring big engined bikes lately!pip wrote:yes was a memorable ride was on a cbr600rr then, since had a Hayabusa, gsx1400, now a Blackbird.
Oh that's interesting between the busa and bb. Is there much power difference, or in how they deliver it?pip wrote:All decent in their own way,gsx14 was easiest to maintain, but hardest to keep clean.lack of wind protection was an issue for me. blackbird is so smooth and plenty of power anywhere, also handled much better than the Hayabusa. also more comfatable.
on paper, the Hayabusa is supposed to be the faster top end, but in all honesty, unless you do warp speeds you probably not notice.the blackbird is a better all round bike to ride. suppose its a personal thing.for instance, my CBR 600rr was tiny and very light compared to the big bruisers.just nothing under 8rpm.where has the bigger bike have power on tap.Clarkey wrote: ↑21 Jan 2018, 17:32Oh that's interesting between the hayabusa and bb.
