What is the difference between these too ?

Is the CBR that much quicker?

I know the Divvy is a tourer, and the CBR a sports bike, but that about all.

Night and day. Cutting edge vs. blunt butter knife.

Davie

In reply to anonymousperson:

CBR - revvier, sharper handling, more sporty seating position, arguably more "fun"

Divvy - torquier, softer handling, probably more comfortable over distance, arguably more practical.

However, I know people who commute on Ninjas, Fireblades, and others who grind the pegs on Goldwings, so overall, it's a case of ride them both and select the one which you like best.

In reply to Masood:

Hmm....

How far do they commute on a fireblade ? ( imagine thats a sure way to get backache- and do they do it in winter?)

My next planned bike is a 800i VFR (98 onwards) Not a VTEC engine - was told by a dealer they are crap

From Hastings to London and back every day. So approx 140 miles a day, all year round.

10 minutes ago I bought a Diversion.

In reply to anonymousperson: had the divi 900 great bike but needed cleaning a lot , handled like and had the top speed of my bmw rt 1100 ,
but the beemer needed less cleaning and had more gadgets

In reply to anonymousperson: bro in law had the divi 600, and likened it to riding my restricted thundercat powerwise, said it was comfy tho,know a few people, some with the cbr rr and some with the cbr f sports tourer, both love them to bits. if i had to go for one id pick the cbr600f, slightly comfier seating position over the rr but with the same power and speed

In reply to dannym2710:
Good compromise the 'f' model but a bit ugly if I remember correctly?

In reply to karl walton: aye, not the pretiest of machines, i prefer the thundercats looks, and according to my bro in law, whos ridden my thundercat and my mates cbr600f, the honda doesnt feel as powerful

In reply to anonymousperson: Diversion = Boring.

In reply to TWINKLETOES: depends waht your doing, if your the sort of person to buy one in the first place then your not going to be trying to drag your knee on corners.

In reply to dannym2710:
I'm up the A1 tomorrow, to pick mine up, if someone will hold my pipe and flat cap I'll be up for a race.

In reply to karl walton: id be up for a race if my thundercat didnt have twisted forks and a smashed fairing

In reply to anonymousperson:

Do what I did & buy a Triumph Daytona 675.

You know it makes sense!

In reply to Franklin the pedantic cat: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 675....... new shape or older, stubbier back shape?

In reply to dannym2710:

Only one Daytona 675.

In reply to dannym2710:
Sounds like a fair match then, especially with me not liking to too fast in case my hearing aide starts whistling.

In reply to Franklin the pedantic cat: mates got a daytona, although it might be a 600, and the tail is very stubby on it

In reply to anonymousperson:

CBR is much, much quicker. You wouldn't belive the difference. any 400cc sports bike is a lot quicker than a diversion. CBR is still comfy enough for long distances but lots more fun when you get there

In reply to karl walton: hehehe lol,give me a couple of weeks and she'll rise from the flames again, and then its on bitch :P

In reply to TWINKLETOES:

Been out on my new (2nd hand) one today, plenty fast enough for me.
BTW does anyone know where the cruise and climate control knobs are?

In reply to karl walton:

Good choice for what you want it for.

In reply to Masood:
Aye I think it's a sound bike, but I guess time will tell.
I had though forgotten just how much of a visceral experience biking was, I think I have gotten soft in the last 10 years.

In reply to karl walton:

Hehe it'll come back soon enough!

In reply to karl walton:

Perfectly good bike. Not the fastest or most exciting but still much quicker than most sports cars & a lot cheaper to buy & run.

In reply to SC:
Tis a good bike indeed, and much faster than the Kwak GT 550 I had last, so it's all relative.
It's really about what you make of it. I remember swapping the front pegs for the smaller rear ones on my GT to give me more ground clearance in corner.
Grind those pegs!
