Looking for a Jap sports bike that is comfortable on long rides,? |
that one could ride a chick comfortably on the back, is not made out of plastic and pot metal and looks sharp. Additioally one that would hold 75% of its value even after 10 years would be a plus. You are never going to find a 'comfortable' Japanese 'sport bike'. They just don't exists. As for one that will hold it's 'value'.....AGAIN, you are SOL. They are designed for one thing and ONE thing ONLY. Short rides with your crotch rocket buddies, be it male or female. If you are LUCKY it will last '10' years. Longevity is not part of the deal with any 'sport bike. You ole-lady will ALWAYS have her A S S in the air & knees in her chest, so much for her being comfortable, and that pee-pad she's on is less comfortable then the saddle she rides monthly. For those suggesting a 'Gold Wing' because it's made in Ohio; I'd like you to remember this.............ALL THE PROFIT goes back to the Land of the Rising Sun. The closest I've ever, in my thirty years in the saddle, come to a 'sport-bike' was my 2000 X-1 Buell Limited Edition Lightening. It was uncomfortable for ANY distance over 150 miles, BUT you got there REALLY fast......and rice burners wanted no part in the throttle game. They all lost their nerve and gained a respect for H-D. So continue you search and let us know when it's found. Like someone else here states, 'Bigfoot will be riding it'. This is a trick question, there is no such thing. Sport bikes are ugly and uncomfortable,they are built with one thing in mind ,speed. The owners of Jap bikes disrespect and thrash them so resale is very low.Every model of Japanese sport bike I've seen is built like a child's toy, plastic, cheap metal and crappy paint. I'd say your out of luck. well, you dont sound really experienced enough to be riding. you talk like a redneck and probably dont even have the ability to find a girl to ride on back. if you should succeed and make promises then buy a honda vfr with training wheels. at least a "jap" bike will not let you down on the highway like harley ablesons. every bike i have seen stuck on the side oft he road has always been a harley. no ifs, ands or buts. another option is to get a japanese cruiser bike, thats comfy and better for fat riders who need to get their dickeydoos in a comfortable position for cruising. here is another tip, the accessories at the local harley dealer are all made in CHINA. yep, them Chinese are everywhere: ) a sport bike isnt designed to be comfortable on rides over 100 or 120 miles. they're designed for speed and high manuverability, and they get this from very lightweight aluminum frames and stiff suspensions. no rice rocket will do what ur looking for. buell's wont cut it either, tho their harley's answer to a sport bike. if u want to do long rides, and have the backseater be more comfortable, a sport bike just wont cut it. u need a cruiser type. the heavier the bike, the smoother the ride because the weight dampens the bumps better. for extra long rides....over 300 miles in a clip, u'd be better off with a touring bike. the only bikes that has been historically proven to hold higher resale is harley. i havent seen a metric bike yet having high resale after 2 years much less 10. there is a line called sport tourers. how they ride i dont know, but they have been on 'iron butt' rides...that is 1000 miles in 24 hours. their fairly new too so resale might not be all that great either. ManfomMumbai needs to get it right. The parts are Made in Taiwan, It's the boots that are made in China. (like there's a big difference! haha). No matter how you spread it, it's still manure. Ride on, I was going to say I thought better of you, but then I realized I feel the same way. Mudslinging with cow droppings, haven't done that since I was a kid! Find yourself a used Goldwing. They're about the only thing that'll keep your passenger comfy..give you great touring range, but even used one's cost a bundle. They are worth it, however. They have awesome power for bikes so big, and they'll go and go until YOU die. There are other big bore sportbikes out there for some good touring but none are as reliable and fun as a Goldwing. Personal experience. |
