Moto-Brian Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hahaha, I knew you'd pussy out. It can't be on coshocton roads, that's home turf advantage.As for 600/1000, after riding both, it would definitely be 600 for track but 1000 for street all the way. When you're on backroads with a 1000 you don't have to ring the shit out of it to have fun and keep up with others. The torque that a modern 1000 has makes it a delight to run down backroads at 8/10thsSo, just curious who can ride a 1000 at 80% of the bike's ability? I smell a fish story...Oh, and Ron, your question about 600s... You are right. Too many people avoid 600s and go big due to mis conceptions. Stick with what you got. They are better than people give them credit for...I do agree in part with RSV though, but on different terms. The 1000 has low end torque to allow for lazy riding and not having to be way up in the revs. That's really it. However, most guys on liter bikes never see 80% of the bike's ability at all. Maybe you meant 80% of that rider's ability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 If you get bored with a modern 600 you need to check your pulse.That being said I like the new CBR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) +1 Id much rather buy a 600 vs a 1000... dont get me wrong, 1000s are fun. Just too much to try and really rail on. Plus, with a 600, the insurance and gas are cheaper! Edited August 3, 2009 by yotaman88210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Never got bored with my 600 and just might pic up another.Commuting on a liter bike for me is much more enjoyable than the 600 was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monroedjt Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I just got the new R1 in May and I love it. It has more than enough power and the torque is out of this world. If you are a big guy you should go with a big bike. The 600's are not bad but there is nothing like 1000cc's. By the way I will race your 600 in a straight line any day!

RSVDon Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I still stick to my guns on the 1000 over 600 for commuting and playing on streets. Except for the part about 8/10ths, Lizard you we're correct in assuming rider's ability, not bike's ability.Of course you can ride a 600 just as fast as a 1000 on the street, you just gotta work harder and rev the hell out of it. That's why I hated my CBR600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
