Unfortunately my buddy with a 1977 cb750 just moved to SC about a month ago. That and after saying I couldn't . . . I really wanted to post in this thread.
You just can't put the 599 and 919 on the same list. That's like saying I think I'll get a 530i or an M5. Crazy I tell ya . . . (ridden a 919 on several occasions, similar in speed to my R6 with lots more torque)
Glad to have ya. Another Versys huh?! That is a seriously cool little bike. I'm the gear nazi on the red R6 around Newark if you ever spot me Honk or wave!
