New member needs a CBR
Hello all. I'm in the process of selling my SV and would really like to upgrade to a CBR 600. I live in NYC. What is the best CBR I can reasonably purchase for $5-6K?
Can anyone recommend any good, used bikes for sale in NYC? Any good dealers? Um... bike dealers.
Any former SV owners here? What did you find were the main differences in handling/performance/etc? Anything I should be aware of?
Thank you in advance.

Hit CL, Ebay for local seller and local Honda dealers, particularly the Honda Bronx location as they often have deals especially in todays economy your likely to get a great deal...go for it.

Welcome
Giday Gulliamo...welcome to the CBRF mate
A few hints when shopping for a new ride ..
1/ Always check out several at least before you decide !
2/ The cheapest or the most expensive one may not be the best one !
(think hard before you buy ! )
3/ Get a second opinion, take a knowledgeable mate with you if you can !
4/ Look at what the TOTAL cost of getting any ride up to scratch will be !
good luck with your shopping mate
BTW : Need any help around here just PM me :-)
Some fast find links are below mate ....use them with my compliments ..

Bike purchase
Check out the Honda dealer (Cycle Word ) located in the Bronx by Blondell Ave/Westchester aVE. Speak to Mike..he is the sales guy I often speak to. They really have a good selection of bikes already prep and ready to ride.
Or call (718) 828-8599 for more info..good luck!
Hit me up when your ready to ride..as I'm also from the Bronx and ride all the time.
peace bro..

One more CBR noob question. My bike is my only vehicle and only means of non-public transportation. Most of my bike time is commuting. Much of it is in 2nd gear putting along in West Side Hwy traffic.
How does a CBR compare in low-speed comfort to an SV650s? What about other Hondas?
