What is the biggest sportsbike.... physically that is?
Im thinking that the TLR and the Hayabusa would physically be the largest bikes?
Any ideas?

The world is round. It has no point.

really depends on what you mean by large.......if you mean fat, yes they would fit the bill.Stereo wrote:Im thinking that the TLR and the Hayabusa would physically be the largest bikes?

however - if you mean roomy and fairing protection large then its a different matter.

TLR is Physically large, but not roomy in the saddle. Busa is actually a really small bike. Go sit on one. For a large capacity mega hyper cosmic sports bike they are dimunitive!!!!
Triumph ST is pretty big. ST1100's are really roomy too.
If you are talking modern day 1000cc Race reps. mmmm Probably the Honda CBR1000 would make the most comfy road mount. The rest are all small.
Sports bikes of a few years before most Probably ZX9 n CBR954's are the most comfy of those lot, from what I have ridden.
Stereo, I see you fitting in well with a Black Z1000 With really loud Muzzy pipes, Ohlins rear shock, Braided lines, Ohlins forks springs, Aftermarket bikini fairing, race cams, bored, Close ratio gearbox, slipper clutch and bar end mirrors.

The 10 is deceptive...although overall size is small it has a fair bit of room, good ergo's and a comfy seat
