litre bikes fit that bill well, so do medium and heavyweight twins and triples

I'm with rider on the greatness of the gsxr 750. Its a great overall bike.

On the subject, I hv no input.

Yes because you don't need to shift as much. Also, the older you get, the less revs and noise you're willing to tolerate on an extended basis.

True, but liter bikes are more $$ for insurance (depending on person/area) and it is getting hard to find a good twin sport bike that doesn't cost $20K new.

Tires. Liter bikes eat em! Middleweights dont eat them as bad.
Handing, liter bikes stop and shoot, cause all that crankshaft makes for hard turning and slow direction changes...
Power, if they made a 2000 I would want one!

I got the shovel.

Really though the newest batch of 1k's are they even any heavier than the 600s now? By what 30 lbs? 5 or 10 years ago yes the liter bikes were much more point and shoot bike, but they have grown so much on the last decade to the point where an 09-10 CBR1k or ZX10r really can handle like a 600.

from the sport rider page my bike was either the same weight as comparable year 600s and lighter than 750s and up. its only become more so with all the new emissions crap they are stuffing in there
