what?!? you sold the 10? man....so now your riding a gsx-r 600? The 10 was just too much powa for the old man eh?

If you don't mind telling, why did you sell the 10? I am going to be getting a liter bike next month and I want to know if it was something you didn't like about the bike or other reasons.

Why did you sell it?

Also, since you have owned both a litre bike and a 600, both of which are new models, what differences can you tell us about them (pros and cons)?

Bob, like myself, is a both old and busted (to quote Will Smith from MiB)

I believe the 10 was too uncomfortable for him and his shoulder.

I had to sell one of them. I need some money. I could get more for the 10 so thats why i sold it. I stripped some parts from it cause people seem scared to buy a slightly modded bike it seems. I honestly felt the bike pulled very hard. I have ridden a 05 GSXR 1000 and prefered my 10. The only complaint i had was engine noise between 3500-4800 rpms cruising at low speeds is annoying. I loved everything else about it. It feels more stable than a 600 to me, especially high speed. And its as light as a 600. Tyler, IMO, its a no brainer if u have the funds, get the big dog litre bike. Youre a very good rider and will have no problems i dont think. Even this 05 600 is almost boring compared to the 10R.

Thanks Bob, you don't need no stinkin' 1000 anyways, as you get older you don't want the excess skin flapping in the wind. Same goes for you Cecil! haha. Hopefully we can ride again sometime when I get another bike. I'll let you ride a REAL bike, Honduh! haha
