Tell me about a CBR 500R

1. Is it too powerful for a new rider compared to a 300?

2. Will I ever outgrow it?

3. How different does it drive/handle compared to a 300?

I ask because they're literally only a couple hundred bucks more expensive than a 300

1. No. There is no such thing as "too powerful," if you respect the machine and aren't a fucking idiot.

2. Yes. Absolutely. Especially if you plan any highway riding.

3. Not much. Slightly more noticeable pickup probably. Weight and handling will be about the same.

Don't be a pussy and get a 600RR.

Fair enough. Still pretty sure even the most expensive bike is going to rust if it gets hit with road salt, rain and mud then is left in a cold shed for three months though.

>>16894994
Why is the bike riding in the middle of the fucking road?
he should pull over and let all of them pass.
doing 20km/h or more under the limit without letting faster traffic pass should be illegal in all countries.

CBR500 guy here.

>1. Is it too powerful for a new rider compared to a 300?

Nope, it is pokey enough that you can get off the line quicker than most things, and it'll accelerate up to 90 with ease but it'll peter off from there. Fast enough to have fun as a novice without scaring yourself shitless.

>2. Will I ever outgrow it?

Yes, I've had mine for almost two years (European A2 license means I have to), was ready for something faster after about 6 months but that's me, some people stay on 125s for ages and are perfectly happy, it depends on what you're after really, but if you want speed you'll find it lacking with time.

>3. How different does it drive/handle compared to a 300?

It's a fair bit heavier than the 300, but what it has in weight it makes up for in power. It's not pigfat, but the 300 is quite nimble. Around a track the 500 is sitll faster though, it does handle quite admirably well for what it is.

All in all, I'd 100% recommend it over the 300. It's a great first big bike too.

>>16895010
>if you respect the machine and aren't a fucking idiot.
Wow, what a clear way to tell if you have the skills necessary to ride a certain bike. It surely doesn't take into consideration how slow and difficult it would be to increase your skill when you're in fear of your vehicle, or how you'd react safely in the case of an emergency when you're too afraid of what it might do, especially when you're a new rider.

I'm going to buy a Ninja 636 for a first bike (and a complementary DNR bracelet to go with it) and no amount of screeching is going to stop me.

>>16894769
So is Schaaf next then? He drives recklessly too.

>>16894991
I'm fixing to sell my CBR500r, great starter, it has enough power to get you around where you need to go.

I would recommend it as a first bike, try and find one that doesn't look pretty though, I made that mistake and scratched the hell out of it, probs gonna lose quite a bit on the sale because of it

>>16895051
do it phaggot

>>16894976
That's Mulholland and you do not cross the double yellows on Mulholland, its one of the most popular riding roads in the country.

Protip: if you're looking for just "enough power", even a Ninja 250 can competently ride freeways. Hell, the Grom has a top speed of 80 and it's a 125.

To be fair I do have one and it's not the nicest for highway riding, anything above 60mph and you're sat at annoyingly high revs, and the bike only revs to 9. It's not insufferable, I've covered hundreds of miles in a day on mine okay, but it isn't great for highway miles.

0-60 doesn't matter much in bikes. Most bikes will do 0-60 in under 3 seconds. Your 0-60 on a bike isn't much to brag about, compared to a car. Even fat fucks on Harleys get to 60 in that range.

Where more cc matters is 60-100. Or 60 to 120. That's where a 250 or 300 stops making power compared to a 1000 or even 600.

But overall it wouldn't matter for me, as pic related states, there's nowhere here to ride it. Most country roads, rednecks tend to go 60mph in their huge ass trucks and jeeps and ride on your ass the whole time. On a Grom I'm sure you'd be ran over or off the roads. And we have no real free off-road trails unless you go WAY out eastern KY. Most land is all fenced off for farms and private property, you risk getting pumped with bird-shot if you try. If you lived somewhere that has free land I'd say a grom is a fun investment, just not really fun here.

Because of cruisers shitty weight distribution and suspension geometry the rear wheel does significantly more braking than on other bikes, maybe even 50% or more, so the rotor is probably the same size.

I gotta say the engine braking on the SV650 is huge and if you don't revmatch perfectly before a corner or if you don't have perfect throttle/clutch control you're pretty much fucked. When you try to go fast and stay in the powerband, of course.

I don't think you niggers should suggest it as a starting bike, it scares the shit out of me and it's hard to improve and concentrate on things like body position.

How's the engine braking on an i4 600 in the powerband, at 8k or whatever, compared to the SV?

Body position is a meme. You should be focusing on your lines, throttle control, and vision instead when you're learning. It's perfectly fine to stay in line with the bike unless you're cornering to the point where ground clearance becomes an issue

You don't know shit about motorcycles.

Steel frames are only inferior to aluminum in competitive classes that benefit from a lower weight.

Steel is actually an easier chassis material to tune chassis flex for. Switching up to the much less flexible aluminum chassis required significant advances in technology and understanding of chassis dynamics to make work well.

There's a reason steel frame bikes reign supreme in types of racing and markets when chassis flex is critical to mechanical performance. For instance flat track racers, MX and Enduro bikes, long distance cruisers, etc.

Is it okay to lug a v-twin at really low RPM for long periods of time? I'm not used to riding cruisers, but these engines are made for that right?

Fz1 > fz10

>>16896439
>better frame
sure
>better engine/suspension
absolutely not lol

20+ years of development on the engine and fork, which is still damping rod on the F2. the 650 is also about the same weight and power. basically the F2 is equal or worse in every aspect, in addition to being old as shit

>>16896468
Yup, that's what they are designed to do.

>>16896465
Man that bike looks cool as fuck

>>16896465
>Rattle can spay the whole bike

Is this a cringe bike thread?

>>16896451
People figured out how to make MX bikes with aluminum frames 10+ years ago. That's not anything new.

Steel trellis frames are still pretty common and good performers, but that's very different from a regular old shitbike with a steel tube frame like an EX300 or something.

>>16896469
Its not an new r1 engine thus its a piece of shit laddy :^)

>>16896460
No it's not. All these faired standards are and ever have been is a standard with wind protection.

The CBR650 or any of the other bikes in this class or the 250-500cc faired bike market are simple basic general performance motorcycles.

New faggots (mainly europeons) that come from a shit displacement bike think that something 500-650 range is some beastly monster sportbike.

>>16896470
I said F3 faget. And the F3 had pretty good suspension. Nice cartridge forks n shit. I bet the 650 is still damper rods.
I would easily take an outdated top-tier model over a modern shitbox model.

>Fz1 > fz10
lul no

not like you've ever rode either

>>16896466
SHUT UF FAGGOT YOU DONT KNO SHIT

At least it doesn't look like a Michael bay movie

>>16896491
Almost the same specs as a sv650

>>16896482
whatever, i'd rather have a brand new bike with damping rod fork than a 20 year old carbed bike that's still overweight

>>16896469
The FZ10 is the same thing as the FZ1. Same bike, next generation.

The FZ1 and FZ10 are simply standardized versions of the R1 concurrent to the year the bike was designed.
Adding a zero doesn't magically make it a different bike.

>>16896492
wut

>>16896493
Its still faster than that piece of shit slow cuckold bike for faggots :^)

>>16896501
>Adding a zero doesn't magically make it a different bike.
No, but the part where it's actually a completely different bike does

>>16896498
Rear wheel horsepower guy

>>16896502
Boipucci! Post it bby ;)

>>16894797
Gauntlets
Gloves came of during my crash, don't want that again.

Does look silly having full on racing gauntlets on an adv bike.

>>16896512
I don't have a boipucci tho

>>16896505
Completely different bike in the sense that this latest generation R1 was a completely different bike to the R1 generation before that.

But they're still R1's.

I don't have a girlpucci either, I just have a penis and an anus, you feel me?

Would someone with a boipucci buy a bike this badass?

>>16896501
>>16896519
>standards are based on the previous generation superbike
no. They're made with spaghetti chassis and slow engines. High center of gravity, sloppy suspension, etc. They're totally different bikes.

>>16896531
>anus
your boipucci

>>16896531
>Bolt
You definitely have a boipucci.

>>16896530
Well I prefer the fz1, own a bike and like girlpucci, so probably

>>16896532
They're made with nearly identical frames and the engine has slightly lower compression and milder cam for more midrange.

We're talking about super nakeds here, not your GS500
