Hello everyone. I need some advice on picking my second bike. First let me tell you a little about me. Last year was my first year riding. I tooked the MSF course, which I started on a 125cc. After the course I bought a 200 gs500e. In my opinion, a great starter bike. I went out riding just about everyday, and spent hours in empty parking lots practicing.

I'm in the process of getting my 2nd bike. I was looking at a 1995 suzuki gsxr 750. The dealership where I'm looking to get the bike from is telling me that the 1995 cbr 900rr is about equal to the 1995 suzuki 750 but has a little bit more power. I'm 6'2 about 255lbs, so I'm looking for something I can be comfortable but at the same time I don't want to over do it. Is the cbr 900rr and suzuki 750 about the same, and if so which one is the better bike? I appreciate any advice or feedback. Thanks in advance.

Both bikes will give more of everything than you can handle. Pick the one that you feel most comfortable on, ergonomically and power-wise.

Exactly what Buzzz said. Neither one will be very comfortable though.

Like was mentioned, I don't think comfort is something those two bikes are known for. If comfort and sportiness is what you are after I would look at a Suzuki RF900, Kaw ZX-11, or early '90's model FJ1200.

so I'm looking for something I can be comfortable but at the same time I don't want to over do it.

Go with insanity and get a boss hoss with a 350 ci chevy engine. Once your going about 30 MPH the 1100 or so lbs. is almost not noticeable.

Don't forget to check the insurance rates between the two- doesn't a 900 jump up to higher insurance rates?
