ive driven a r6 and a rvf400,,,,, the first question im gonna ask HOW TALL ARE YOU ?
first bike i ever rode was a r6 then i rode a 125,,,, mate due to them skinny tyres id have to say a r6 is easier
as for the front end lifting,,, again its down to if you got skinny fingers i guess,,, i got warned about that and ive NEVER had the front end lift on a bike
oh and the rvf400 was a PROPER race tuned spec,,,, with magnesium wheels, its my neighbours track bike, its soo small i felt like i was fat bloke riding a donkey
he also has a blackbird :"runabout" bike,,,,, thats alot higher up but he swears its the best bike for long journeys,,,,, and thatn fucking thing MOVES,,, down kings road on the back of that thing with my visor open a little and the cold air brought tears to my eyes
