So as one of my previous posts I'm looking into a future bike once I achieve few things:
1 - Get my G2
2 - Get my M ( in 2017 )
3 - Wait till i'm 25 ( in 2018 )
As my older thread talks about few choices I have chosen to get ones I get my full M, reach age of 25 and payoff my 250R. The options from previous were Yamaha R6, Honda CBR600RR and Honda VFR800F. Somehow I forgot to add Honda CBR500R. Being honest I never took the 500R as a serious bike, mostly because it's 471cc parallel twin, however looking into few things Ninja 650 is also a parallel twin but with more kick since it is a 650 afterall. There is the Honda CBR650F with its 649cc inline-four. As some users on here suggested is to call my insurance and see what price gap there is between a handful of bikes in Sport and Sport Touring categories, before making any decisions as for the future. Both CBR's the 500R and 650F are stunning looking bikes, but the 500R takes the spotlight since it reminds me of the Fireblades, if you look at the 500R it's a miniature Fireblade.
VFR800 is also a very great bike, but it's price is bit steep costing as much as a cheap car so it will depend on how much I have available to spend and what the insurance will be like. I know it's very early to even wonder this since there is still 2-3 years and fair amount of stuff changes during that time, but I rather start planning now than later. Plus it's a good way to learn things. I know there are few VFR owners here and good amount of 600RR and R6 owners on here. But I'm looking for some feedback from 500R and 650F owners if any.
If you have either the CBR 500R or the CBR 650F I would highly appreciate your review of the bikes, there cons/pros. If you don't own this bikes but still know decent amount of information on them or could use existing manufacturer provided information to construct an opinion that will also be appreciated. I'm not looking for an overly crazy fast bike, just something sufficient for the city with decent looks to add and something that I could ride to Ottawa/Montreal without dying halfway from discomfort.
Big thanks in advance.
