    Massive differences to the 250's? weight? handling? natural progression from 250's? or would a 400 be better?

    Thanks

    Bearing in mind that I've only ridden it a handful of times...It's fricking quick!!!

    The suspension set-up is way too soft but I'm gonna have a fiddle with the settings.

    The seat is real comfy, mind you that compared to the 250.

    The front wheel and the road don't seem to like each others company when you're burning off an XR6 Turbo. I have a feeling that the throttle may have been bating them!!

    I'll write a proper review once I've ridden it a bit.

    While I can't comment on the difference between a 250 and the 600 (as I had a ZXR 150) I can say the F3 is awsome!!

    I have had mine about a month now and am loving it. Its forgiving, comfortable, nice looking and fast... what more could I need?

    Congrats Slingshot, you gonna come out to riverbank for some pool and to laugh at the boyracers on thursday?

    I find my GSXR600 is bout the same for comfort being the seat and bike arent for long distance rides jus like my last one, but it moves when ya want it to, and seems to give more grip when i give more shit.

    Congratulations Slingshot, well done! And you had perfect riding weather to do it in too.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Um... are you going to whip out a 600 you've had hiding in the shed, like Slingshot?

    Not yet as its only my restricted hehehe.
    First time on the motorway today, well, riding into a strong wind on a naked bike sucks major cojones! Never realised how much stress on your neck there is

    But otherwise, no bright yellow L shaped target on the back!
