After taking a R6 out of the shop yesterday for a work ride over to Whangamata I now have a new found respect to all you 600cc sportsbike riders
I'm used to riding on torque or at least 40+ more hp so had a hell of a time trying to get the thing to "go" without getting the feeling of murderising the poor wee bike!
Reckon I'll stick to my larger bikes to drag my fat arse around...much easier.

Here for the arcade.
I remember seeing an R6, a later model, tearing through the middle of traffic after just missing getting past them at the red light then doing this incredible wheelie at balancing point up to about 140+. I thought "shit, do I really need a 1000?!".
One hell of a ride.
Get me one for each buttock and I'm in.

600? Heck! You don't know how nice, powerful and swift the 600's are!!! Coming from the 150 and feeling like it was going to blow up every hill (seeing as how to stay over 100kph you have to be near red line) the 600 is a joy

First time I rode a 600 I loved it. Blood rushing to the back of the head, 100k done without a problem, it was awesome.600? Heck! You don't know how nice, powerful and swift the 600's are!!!

First time I rode a 1000 I thought from all that I have heard about them I was expecting it to kill me, and it didn't. I expected more. Suppose I need more time on one so I can open it up around corners rather than the Wellington Motorway.
First time I rode a VFR400, I thought it was quick but not extremely so, but it was still good fun and worth getting just for cheaper insurance.
How on earth have you managed to afford a 600?! When I got quoted on insurance for one of those things it was going to cost $3000 a year

A 600 would be good for you Dumpty, great fun on the track... you have to ride the bike as apposed to ham fisting it up

600/4's should be sold with 2 canes - so you've got a spare for when you break the 1st one.

It's an R6, it wants to be thrashed witless. It's what they're for.

Yes I'm well aware of that,obviously....my point is that I found it difficult to ride on the road without screaming its head off and therefore end up well over the speed limits.
Personally I prefer torque as I find it easier to ride
