Your 900rr vs a modern sportbike

RE: Your 900rr vs a modern sportbike
I dunno how my 900rr compares to a modern 600 ss, but I rode my friend's '92 600f2 last night and I couldn't believe how different it felt vs the 9.
Totally different. My advice to others and myself, is to never ride a bike that's faster or better than your own. You won't want to get off.
I can never go back after the 9. The next bike will have to be a full 1000cc like an R1 or something. There's no going back.

I was just very surprised because my last bike was a 600f2 and it was awesome. Extremely flickable and nimble with great brakes and a crisp transmission.
My story goes like this, I started on a Kawasaki EX500 and thought that bike was the best.
Then I made the mistake of riding my friend's 600f2 and I never wanted to get off it. I wanted to keep that bike and ditch the 500!
Now fastforward to today, and I now ride a 900rr.
Last night I got back on a 600f2 and it felt like I was riding the EX500, I hate to say it but the f2 felt like a big moped.
It was only when I started to make the bike do twists and turns on the road did I realize it was nothing like the EX500 save for the upright riding position.

Playful, I actually did get a chance to ride an '06 600rr and I was very very impressed.
The bike was the most nimble, razor-like supersport I have ever ridden to date.
It was featherlight and turned and stopped and moved on a dime.
And just like you said, the only thing it didn't have was the torque of the 9.
