How big is 550 compared to 350??
« on: October 25, 2009, 08:43:45 PM »
Hi,

Title says everything.

I've never seen any CB's in person and dimension doesn't really ring my bell.

Is CB550 as big and heavy as any other 600cc sportbike like R6? ???

Please clarify:

Are you asking about the difference between a CB550 and a CB350, or a CB550 and a modern 600cc bike?

Sorry for the confusion.

I'd like to hear both!

The 550 is similar in size and weight to a CB350, but with more power. 

Compared to an R6, it's an overweight, underpowered dinosaur. ;D

Yup. And you can think an R6 into the turns. ;D
