No, need to follow the crowd by buying a litre. Ride for yourself and no one else. I thought about buying a litre for my first sport bike then got my 600rr and I love this bike. This bikes got plenty to offer and well its yellow so it gets noticed. Give your bike some time to grow on you and you'll be glad you kept it. I'm keeping mine till it can't run anymore and plan on buying a new one in a year or two a 1000rr for sure and still have my 600rr.
