Very surprised at how different a sportbike is than a standard

I started on a ZX7R

Then "Downgraded" to a ZX6R

I dig the Cruiser stuff but If i ever got one it'd totally be a V rod...and Trips Beemer was def nice...although HUGE compared to my bike but I def could see myself on one. Gas's HD was a goddamn Cadillac on two wheels. And Ebb's DRZ was loud as fuck but def looked like a blast to ride...altho not for anything longer than a few Hundred miles.

I dunno, I really like the zx7r, much more than the zx6r. Not that the 600 isnt a better bike, it's superior in almost every way, but when I was last shopping for a sport bike I did a bunch of camparison shopping, and rode a few bikes, and really fell in love with the 750.I really thought the 7r would have been a better bike for me it just had personality. Then I wound up on a honda, the bike equivalent of rainmans personality

When I switched from my R6 to the VF it was like night and day. Just the suspension technology and thin tires alone. While the vf has a sporty feel, the flickability just isnt there.

Im really feinding to get on this SV. I know the power output is almost no different, but a better suspension and big tires would be amazing....

I had 2 ZX7Rs....the riding feel is just hard to describe....it just feels good.
