Thanks everyone for the input. I decided to cross the tuono off my list

I have plenty of time to move up to a 1000cc bike. I'm going to focus on the 600cc class. Thanks again for the great input...

 

good choice

but dont confuse the 1000cc of that tuono with 1000cc's of an inline 4......two different worlds


you wont be dissapointed in that cbr.....great bike

 

I saw you previously rode the 08' 250R, I love the 250's, havent riden the new 08' and up models yet, but have had a couple, an 03' and a 06' older models.
They're great dependable motorbikes.
Here's my old gal, all spruced up. Pretty much with every after-market performance part available lol (Not pictured, full Muzzy exhaust)


I used to accompany a bud of mine to Harris Hill in Texas, for his track days, and a older guy and his son could be seen there almost weekly riding their 250R's, LAPPING, not just passing, but lapping some liter bikes.
Amazing stuff, really pushing those bikes, flicking around on the turns like nobodies business lol, you could hear them ramming the RPM's and redlining, wringing out the heck out of those two twin engines, just the way these bikes like to be ridden.

It was friggin amazing, I wish I still had my 250R, actually I'm thinking about buying a pre-08 model and suit it up for a track day this spring.

Planning on keeping the 250R?

 

i say you should get a cbr

 

in my opinion the rr's are the best in either of their classes; inline 600 and 1000. v-twin 1000's has to go to the rc51 or tl1000. like schultz said, dont confuse those 2 different worlds. im not saying the big vtwins are slow... but the inline 4s are just scary fast. be careful.
