What feels higher? I only ask because seat height on a new R6 is about an inch higher than a R1..

the actual seat height is like 3/4 inch less than the 6.. the seat is wider though. so it feels higher.

Just curious, how old are you?

the VFR is a nice bike to start with to be honest. Itll keep up with any other sport bike, but itll be more comfortable to be on for a good amount of time.

i think im gonna take yalls advice and not buy brand new and maybe even stay away from a straight sport bike.... CL has a few VFR's for very reasonable prices.

Honda blackbird bikes are pretty cool, they can be fast as hell to.

I was only curious about your age because it made more sense for you to put 8K towards a home (if you don't own one) rather than a street bike. Just my opinion, good luck.

totally off topic as to how i spend my money. if i needed a financial advisor id go to merril lynch.

im thinkin its gonna be a VFR as of now.. i think this is sexxy minus the license plate location.

concept:



actual bike:

Definitely got different tastes then me, that VFR is ugly, IMO.

only thing i dont like is the fender/license plate holder... lil bit of fab work and voila.

Wow, I was just trying to offer a bit of sound advice. It's unfortunate you have to be such an asshole about it. Best of luck on your quest for a bike.
