Thanks for the compliments and the advice guys i appreciate it, i recently told a new rider the same thing about not disrepecting his bike and the guy never spoke to me again, dont know what his issue is i simply gave him advice not a command lol. But thanks again guys.

nice cbr - looks like a genuine clean low mileage example - they're getting hard to find in that condition.
I guess you won't be asking many 'how to' questions!
lucky man....

Nice bike, congrats!

I'm interested in likes and dislikes. My son was asking me about the 600. My brother had one years ago and I only rode it for a short ride and can't remember.

Do you find the 1000 heavier in the front or is the 600 also front heavy?

Overall does the 1000 feel heavier than the 600, parking lots and such?

Little more room on the 1000 or about the same?

The 600 is significantly lighter in the front and significantly lighter in "parking lots and such".
There is also a bit less room on the 600 and the 1000 is much more comfortable.
The thing that always amazed me about the 2 bikes was how much thinner the 600 is. The motor/airbox/carbs/etc are all set up much differently.
The 1000 is like a 2-wheeled civic. LOL..
