Still being an inexperienced rider I dont need the top end rush that a 6 offers. Thats why I'm really starting to think V-twin and its practicallity. Even tho all my friends have 6's. (05 R6, 05 CBR, 08 GSXR) The question is SV or XB....
Psst. The CR is NAKED!


The 1125 is more like an RC51 in it's delivery. You'll ride the torque until the top end kicks in.

Great motor. You won't have any 600's running away from it.

Although it's a liter class bike, it doesn't have the top end punch that gets folks into trouble.

Twins are also great in that because the power pulses are spaced farther apart, the rear tire doesn't break traction quite as easily.

Problem is that you can't get a CR used yet.
