Default Debating on 675 or 1000RR

hey fellas,

I got a few questions, Im interested in two bikes for the same price of 8999. For both the red 675 or blk 061000RR Brand new. the CBR is at a great deal now since 07's are out and its winter, but I havnt ridden in four years. I had a bike license from 16 to 23, owned/rode/rain or shine/ an 87FZ600 and a 97CBRF3. Taken DP racing @ sears point raceway when i was 17..... Put about 60k miles total on both bikes. My question is.... is it too much of a gap to jump straight to a CBR1000RR. Or should I just play it safe and get the 675 or wait for the 07600. I know eventually the speed of the 600s will bore me out and will my riding skills should come back up to speed. Im just trying to be a bit cautious. Or u guys think I will be just fine. Thanx

$9000 bucks for a brand new 1000RR is one HELL of deal, I would jump on it before someone else does. Good luck. (also, you've ridden motorcycles before, so you shouldn't have any problem adjusting to the sportbike, but I would retake the MSF course again as a refresher, then practice on the 1000 for a while until you get comfortable on it. That's a lot of bike, so just be careful and respect it's authorita!

I was actually thinkin bout gettin the 675 but i ended up gettin the 1000rr fr my first bike. U wont have any problems as long as u respect it. the 1000 is a great bike and so is the 675 from what i hear so either way u will have a nice one.

as much as i like the new 675 it would always be a 2nd choice against the 1000RR
remember to keep the Honda under 8k till your skills come back to you

get the 1000rr, i just got one, i was gonna wait but i got a great deal too. i gave 9grand and got a helmet and jacket. i have never owned a bike before, ridden off road but not much on street. i love my 1krr. it's very smooth and easy to drive i havn't even tested the power yet. just take it easy at 1st you'll be fine.

Get the 1000 and for that price don't second guess it.Treat it like a 600 for a while and then as you get more experience

,go faster and faster.
