Thumbs up Now I know...

...why everyone loves these 600cc bikes so much.
Yesterday I loaned Cliff my truck for a road trip.
He left me his R6 in exchange.

I rode it in to work today.... WOW! That thing is so much fun!
The steering, controls and overall stance of the bike is far different than my Busa.

It's so smooth, quick, responsive, agile and just plan ole fun!

I took the liberty to pull a couple of wheelies... (don't tell Cliff )
... just beautiful.... it comes up so smoothly and balances without hesitation.
It felt like it wanted to stay up on one.
The landing... smooth as silk.
Soft and controlled...

Now I know why so many love these bikes...

I took my bro's F3 up to Jennings last month and after only 2 sessions, I was running faster times than I was on my 954. The real kicker was that it felt like I was working only 1/2 as hard...even though I was going faster.

If I were to buy a new bike now, it would be a 600cc w/o a doubt.

nice. from the liter bikes i've ridden (even the new ones), my 600 is a lot more agile and fun to flick around.

600s are defently great handling and extreamly light, I just wish I was a little smaller cause when I ride a 600 I look like the ape at the circus riding the little micro moto bike

My 600 is a lot of fun, especially in the twisties. Its just so light and easy to ride. I've heard rumors that Aprilia may be putting out a 600cc 4 cylinder next year, so I will be first inline for that bad boy.

Ahhhh, you guys are coming to the small, I mean dark, side slowly but surely. Cecil, It's like getting on one of your kids dirt bikes isn't it? You can rag the shit out of it and not worry about killing yourself.
