My name is Shneer from Upstate NY. I currently ride a 2007 GSX 750F (katana). I've been riding for one season and I now know what I am looking for in a bike. Although my current bike is fun I'm looking for something lighter, faster and something great for twisties. I was thinking next summer I would purchases a 07 CBR 600RR but I didn't know if that would be an upgrade or a downgrade in terms of speed wise.

Should I go to the CBR 600rr or the CBR 1000rr? (not looking for someone to say a litre is too fast for me. IMO if you have clutch control and don't ride beyond your limits you should be fine.)


Opinions, Suggestions GO!

-Thanks-

 

the main difference you'll notice is the 600 or 1000rr isn't going to be nearly as comfy as your katana
i'd focus on that aspect more than speed if you want to keep it on the street

 

What kind of riding will you be doing?

 

well I'm looking to get more into taking turns faster and tighter. As far as comfort wise, on average, how long of a ride can you go for until your arms really start to feel it?

 

Man my 600 is so comfortable... I can ride forever. Handles really well too.

 

A 600 is far more forgiving in terms of power delivery. With 80+ftlbs of torque on tap small adjusments of the throttle can have unexpected results...breaking traction in wet or on gravel. The weight difference is not much of a factor.

 

Good point. And why pay more for power you probly wont ever need to use? A 600 or 750 is perfect if you ask me.

 

Get a 1000rr and don't look back

 

Id say get the 07600RR ok might be a bit biased here. As far as pwr goes the 07RR will beat your Katana in just about every category! i had an F4i for 2 seasons, before getting my new girl, ZERO regreats this is an awesome bike and won a massive amount of awards! i knew i wanted a 2007 if i got the RR. Good luck

get a 600rr, compared to your kan a tuna you will be very impressed. then when you do some mods , your smile will reach your ears.
