Would you still buy a 750?

My mangina feels comfortable on the 1050cc of Speed Triple

750 go for it dude!!! k6 onwards if you're wanting to do track days awesome bike for that + if you want to commute better than 600 or 1000. personally 600 for track 1000 for holy shit this is the... good luck man.

It's all relative.
Sure I'd like more torque and power than my 400 has, but, do I need it? Currently no. I haven't found a hill my 400 won't go up in top gear easily....

I've ridden plenty of tasty bikes, I think a ZZR600 would be ideal for me. A VFR800 would be perfect and an RF900 is top of my "next bike" list.

As I said, it's all relative.

I ride like a pussy tough.

Head wins... I decided to increase displacement from 599 to... 599.4cc ('08 YZF-R6)

“Girls bike!!” seems to be the catch phrase at work and from mates but I don’t have a problem with that. When I get a big bike it most likely won’t have fairings.

*edit* telling your mates that you're staying with a 600 is what I imagine it would be like telling them you are gay (I'm not)... an uncomfortable pause and glazed look of disbelief just after you tell them ha ha.

All it sounds like to me is that you retards haven't figured out you can have more than one bike

Yamaha should make an 800 sportsbike. An R8 would be perfect.

What do your mates at work ride?? Each other??

Yes MT I know, but I mean, if I want more power, I want a heap more, not just a bit more. If I was just tracking it, and thats all, Id definitely consider the 600, and the 750, but for the road, now Ive had a good thou, I couldnt go back again to a 600.

Like I said, horses for courses, Theyre still making the sem fiddys, so there must be enough people who see the 'happy medium' aspect!

how much hp is your thou putting out?
how much is a new 600 is putting out? i know for a fact my m8s zx6 ( worked) is doin 120 hp and how much is a new 750 in hp these days?
is 120hp not enough?

How's that thing at pulling out and blasting past traffic with ease in 6th gear? Sure you can knock it down 3 gears, meanwhile I'll be already back in my lane.

yeah big torque for road is nice

**racefactory** · 15th May 2011, 12:07

600 is by far fast enough, overkill I reckon. Really, what can you not do on a 600 that you can do on a 1000- get 30kph higher top speed on Pukekohe and not have to shift another gear? Why put up with higher fuel consumption for no real reason?

Or just get 2 bikes- 1000 for track and 600 for fuel consumption on the road.

As a former owner of a 750, I loved every minute of riding it. The Mk I Shiver is an absolute peach of a ride. I haven't ridden the Mk II, but given that Mr Aprilia has only messed with the riding position, not the mechanicals nor the frame geometry, I imagine it's still a whole bunch of fun.
