Where is peak power made on 600cc machines. Go ahead, look it up, I'll wait.

I don't know nor am I going to look it up to argue with you on the internet.
I just don't understand why you feel you can't keep up with a 675 motor. I ride with all types of riders and bikes and never feel like I'm working at it. |

Who said anything about keeping up? Not me. I'm talking about making power. And it's done in the upper registers of the RPM range. Plain and simple. I'm not arguing...they are great bikes. I just prefer a larger engine in a different configuration.

I'm sorry. I read it as keeping up but after looking back I see you said "getting a response" out of it. Fair enough!
Still sexy! |

Dont get me wrong, they are awesome bikes. If I was in the market for a fully faired middleweight I'd be looking at a Triumph. Especially the blue and white. I love blue and white bikes. The Buell XB's, the 1125, the Triumphs.

Yea, I can't ride a 600. I put tires on my buddy's bike last week and rode it to his house for him and I hated every mile. There is just something about a liter bike that appeals to me...

How could I have left that out. Of course, Tiggers. Honestly, there are a billion of the blue and white stock GSXR's out there...but there were always my favorite. And as I've said before, your bike looks awesome.
Maybe the 80+ ft lbs of torque?

It looks sweet but that swingarm looks so damn frail.
As far as middleweights go I still prefer the GSXR750, not that I'd own one again but... liter performance from a 600 weight class... you can't beat it. |
