I get all Giddy inside when I can run my bike above 8k Consistently, Which isnt alot around these parts...And even less with the risk of getting caught doing trip digits in a 50 or below Speed zone...So in reality My bike is usually below 6k ALOT of the time. And everyone is right...Comfort wise a Supersport isn't ideal for commuting, With that being said. It CAN be done...Hell I rode 800 Miles on mine down into the Northern Mts of GA to meet up with Trip and a bunch of other members and when I got there I was numb from my wrists down to my feet. And just curiously, The main reason you want a different bike is for a digital speedo?

Also Yamaha makes smoother engines than the other Jap makes. The others have noisier valvetrains, in my experience. |

Ever given any thought to Supermoto?
Sportbikes can be fun on the track, and I guess look cool to young girls... But this amount of fun is pretty much illegal. Also you don't wind up with sore wrists, ass and legs from cruising it around or cutting some laps at a trackday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHJHQYvqqNk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpHC8HQyKgE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XclcbhmnF0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeUK6aOEJKo |

That said, you probably haven't logged enough miles to have that strong of an opinion either way... I know for me and my ever increasing age, comfort has become a much more significant factor in my two wheel experience. |

That's why I like the GS, even though I am not very fast through the corners like I could on the 600RR. I can ride in traffic and have a ball of a time.

you are going to start a long debate with that sort of comment. Get what you want, you are going to be the person riding it everyday, just go sit on some bikes and find out what you like the best.
