08 250r to 08 cbr600rr

shadowskater · June 12th, 2011, 03:00 AM

Sold the ninja a couple weeks back and I actually got a lot more than I was expecting. I was in the market for a short while and just finished riding home my spotless nearly new 08 cbr600rr. I am on cloud nine right now guys, this thing is bliss.

Congrats

How does it compare to the 250, besides the obvious power increase?

Kool bike...

Moar Pics! In depth review/comparison to Ninjette please!

Oh, and awesome bike by the way. I just had to wipe the drool off my keyboard

Awesome bike! I sat on one at a dealership recently and it was extremely comfortable; enjoy it!

CBR's are beautiful bikes. Really like that color scheme as well. Is this your first move up from the 250? Enjoy it and safe riding!

this guy is too busy on 600rr.net to give us a review and comparison coming from the ninjette

Quick update then from me. Had 13K miles on 2009 Ninja250, traded it this time last year towards 2009 CBR600RA (ABS) and have 8K miles.
More power but pretty docile under 7K rpm. At 9K rpm it screams. Not moved around by wind. Soft seat. Pretty comfortable riding position for a 600 supersport. A little strain on the back and wrists at times, but not bad. CBR clip ons are about level with top of the fork tubes. Very strong brakes. Bike feels planted well in the corners, and turn in is easy enough. A bit heavier, taller, and wider so moving it around a parking space is a bit tricker, also probably more space needed to make a parking lot type turn. One more quart of oil to change at each oil change. Spin on filter is a plus but need to remove one side fairing to do so (though others have done them with fairings on bike). Good all around 600 that can scream when you want it to.

I made the same move to a CBR. I love mine too, poor ninja just collects dust in the garage now.
