The possibilities are endless. I've narrowed it to Cbr1000, r1, Gixxer1000. I know the powers basically the same. But throw me some facts please. Which weighs less. Which has better torque high and low end? I like doing wheelies so if anyone knows which bike is better for those let me know.(Like swingarm differences and different weight distributions) Hope to see this thread fill up!! thanks!!!

1098 r. All the horsepower and twice the torque. Plus: it's damn sexy.

The fact is if you cant do a wheelie on a 600, then a 1000 will be no different.

 

[Unsane125]

well first of all......

ehhh whatever

 

[rockscaler]

You should get a geo metro thats 1000cc

before you become pavement gravy




otherwise vtwins are the best wheelie bikes sv1000 tl1000 Buell 1125cr RSVR


the 1125cr is probably the best on the market to wheelie

The ZX10R won the liter bike comparison in the augest 09 issue of sport rider. 9.72 sec @ 149mph quarter mile trumps the rest of the pack, with 161.7 HP, 75.6 ft/lb torque @ 10,500 rpm. It destroyed the Duc 1198 in all aspects, with the kawi recieving an overall score of 91.8 while the duc earned the lowest rating of all the five bikes, an 88.4 (what a shitty bike). Have fun.

YZF R1 or ZX10R

Psst, I thought everyone knew that v's burn up if wheelied

Get the one you like to look at every day.

Because they are all going to be great on the street, nobody is riding a modern litrebike to it's max on the road.

Go sit on them at the dealerships, take ones for test rides if possible. Ask a friend to ride their bikes, look on craigslist and test out whatever ones you are interested in. I see alot of ads on the CL saying "test drives allowed with insurance and valid mc license"...

Good luck

Gixxer all the way!!...Then say Yut Aahhhhhh

Oh yeah, to everyone else, please..............................

 

[oldskoolbusa]

yuuut uggggh.

I say there's little difference between them; they're all great bikes. So just look for the best price, but be prepared to put in some sweat-equity, too. The liters do sometimes get beat up:

One motorcyclist killed, another critically injured in accident

Police said a 22-year-old motorcyclist died Tuesday night when he and another motorcycle rider traveling at a high rate of speed struck a car turning in front of them on Sahara Avenue at Edmond Street.

The man was traveling west on Sahara about 8 p.m. on a 2006 Kawasaki ZX10R along with a 20-year-old man riding a 2007 Suzuki GSXR1000. Witnesses said the pair were doing wheelies.​

You can also sometimes find what they call a "distressed seller". You know, "Must sell for bail, so I don't lose my job, apartment, and all my worldly possessions":

Motorcyclist cited for going 112 mph on Route 59

A Naperville motorcyclist was charged with speeding after police said they nabbed him going 112 mph on Route 59.

Police said the motorcyclist was riding his red 2004 Honda CBR1000 motorcycle south on Route 59 near 95th Street about 9:50 p.m. Tuesday. An officer clocked him going 112 mph in a 45-mph zone.​

Good luck with your search!

This is just down the road from me. People go crazy on their motorcycles on 59 once the traffic dies down. Which is stupid, since every light is a red light camera and police run radar all the time looking for douches like this.

You haven't been here very long... Give yourself a while and you'll figure it out.

YZF R1 or ZX10R

Psst, I thought everyone knew that v's burn up if wheelied

they dont

some older design engine had oiling issue at the angles you are at when riding it for distance, but so did some I4s like my zx9r would blow up if I rode a wheelie for more than a half mile or so.

if you interest is mutiple miles then your target isnt ease of getting it up but how it rides once your there, the 1125cr has the most power vs. weight vs. wheel base vs. gearing making it the easiest up and the radiator cowls act like leaf springs when you drop it

the rotax motors will take alot of abuse lots of aprilia riders over 60k mi without doing a valve adjustment.

K, but how does what you posted help him answer the questions? All the information he wants, he can find for himself. I know I don't have the info he asks off the top of my head and why should I do the leg work for him? I am not going to go through past issues of CycleWorld for comparison tests either. F'n '09's!!
