600rr moded or gsxr 750
I have the option of purchasing a new bike with the erion slip on, tank proctor, tank cap proector, chrome wind shield, and i think a fender eleminator but no sure for about $1000 more than a stock bike.
$1000 sounds alot to me. $9200 total for the modified 07 600rr.
For that kind of money I could buy a gsxr 750 and have 30 more horsepower and a bike the weights the same.
[align=left] [/align]I have read these threads and a modified 600rr will not pull as hard as a stock gsxr750 unless invest some huge dollar then might as well get a 1000rr.
So somebody tell me why you would or did purchased a honda 600 knowing the 750 has 25 to 30 more hp and weights close to the same? More hp means more fun to me.

RE: 600rr moded or gsxr 750
my reason for gettin the 750 over ne 600 was my weight....
i'm about 220 and on the track on the straights a person thats 150-180lbs can almost keep up. so i needed that lil bit more power to deal with speeds in 4th and 5th gear. and yet u can get an awesome drive outa corners i can usually make up time on people on 1ks mid corner and exiting the turn so i think its a great track bike for me...thats what i have...
and for the street a cbr 1k. that once i get good at throttle control will go to the track as well.

750s are more popular here but, I like hondas.

There is NO replacement for displacement -- if you are all about HP and speed.
I went from a 600 to a 1000 last year, and yeah, the power is nice and fun, but I really don't get the chance to open it up and enjoy it anyhow. It just makes for less shifting when putting around town and commuting.

Get the 750 if you need power (or think you do), it isn't a Honda, but Honda chooses to not play in that sandbox so F*** them.

Some of you guys list alot of mods. And the after market exhuasts I can hear a difference but do they really produce more hp and have dyno charts from
company that is not a rep?

RE: 600rr moded or gsxr 750
active duty and do track days, also doing a race school soon so i can race. the gsxr 750 is 15 lbs heavier. bought my 07 cbr 600 rr for 10375 delivered with 2600 worth of after market already on it. bought the 07 cbr because i grew up on hondas. everyone and their mama has a gsxr, and i have a ton of fun on 600's never really wanted anything bigger. ive ridden alot of bikes, all the way up to a zx14. dont really care to have huge hp when i can keep up with literbikes on the track. yeah they may pull me on the straights, and pull harder out of the corners. but i can break later, carry higher corner speeds, and be right there in lap times on my 600 when i comes to the twisty stuff. im not sure where your stationed, but im at ft stewart. 3 hrs north of daytona int speedway (team hammer race school and trackdays), 3 1/2 hrs north east of jennings gp ( alot of race schools and track days), 4 hrs south of road atlanta, and 6 hrs north of moroso in west palm beach. if you look up this link you'll find track days and schools in every state. im sure you'll be close to one. hell, in germany you even have hochenhiem raceway.
