Buying myself a B-Day gift next month, but do I step up to the liter class???
Alright,
I've been out of the bike scene for a while now and I want back in. Third time's a charm right? I've ALWAYS had Honda's and swear by them. On the same note, I've always had an F4i (2 of them now) and have never really gotten to ride anything else. So next month I am going to buy myself another bike but I am a tad intimidated by the liter bikes. Are they THAT much more powerful (I know 50hp + pver my F4i) to where they are scary in corners. I debated a new 600RR but when I sold my F4i I was riding the piss out of it to the point I was waiting for it to go as fast as I wanted. I want something that will get out of its own way but also corner like a dream since that is where it will be living most of the time, fast straights do nothing for me unless it is linked with two corners. I'm only 155lbs soaking wet, is a 1000 just too much bike? The last thing I want is to worry about wheel spin coming out of a corner cause I like to exit hard on the throttle. Should I jump off the Honda wagon and opt for the 750 :cough"GSX-R:cough: (please say no).
Most of the guys I know with liter bikes are 185lbs +, if there are any guys my size that ride one of these bikes I want to hear your opinions as well as anyone elses in general. I REALLY have my eyes set on an '05 REPSOL replica but I want to know personal experiences with liter bikes first.
