ok, im pretty sure that this has been done before, but ill ask anyway just to see what kind of replies i get.

what are some things that you like about 600s, or 100s that you don't like about the other? what are some things that a person would be looking for if he were to want a 1000, or a 600? I've personally never ridden a 1000, so all i have to compare the 600s i've ridden are an old 750 and a hayabusa (runaway cow). im eager to see what everyone has to say, educate me! lol

 

Well I've never ridden a 1000, but they seem to be shorter than the 600s. I've also heard people have a problem keeping the front wheel down.

 

The 600s are nice and I am considering one for a track bike but for the street I chose the 929 because it is the size of a 600 with the 929 motor and has plenty of upgrades to give the 1000s trouble,so just something to think about and yes I am partial.Good luck in your search

 

600 = more agile and lighter. I like the looks better. Cheaper insurance. Hella fast for me.

1000 = More money for a bike that will get me tickets easier. Higher insurance. Stand up more when trying to accel through a corner. I can't open up my 600RR around here. I ride for fun on the road, not at a drag strip. The extra 400 cc's just means I'll die 3 seconds faster... why pay for that. The list could go on, but I'm sure you see my reasoning.

That said, I've never had the pleasure of riding anything above a 750 on sportbikes. If you want a surprise, jump on one of the 1800 goldwings, the SOB's come with air bags now and are accelerate quickly (not thinking of buying, my dad and brother have them). But anyways... my opinion might change if I ever ride one, but I don't know anyone with one to test out. Any offers? Didn't think so. I'd rather buy the less expensive bike, save the insurance money and still have the ride and speed I like.

 

yo mang...the new liters are just as agile as the 600s...that is freakish mang!

yea if you're not careful, you'll spin the rear exiting turns and the front will come up quick.

but both are sexy as hell!

 

It`s worth the money for me, handles like a 600 looks near identical to the 600RR Don, and i would never give it back. It doesn`t stand up when under acceleration out of turns! No dislikes about the 600, and most of all because i can.

 

I have and love both but prefer my zx10r for the street.

600's are great for the track but I can't see going back to one on the street.
Once you ride a 1K you'll see why.
I haven't had any uncontrolled wheelie problems, good throttle control is key though.

so... what you guys are saying is that I shouldn't test ride a liter bike... I don't need the temptation. I've always read that the liter bikes will try to stand up more if you accelerate in a turn. I guess what ever bike you have, you'll love it. Both are great, just one has the more power thing going for it. I'm not sure I need that... it's hard to hold back on my 600RR now. As for the same look... I like how the 600RR has inner covers that cover the frame up more. Just a preference. I love the looks of both, and would have considered, but insurance for me would have been $200 a month instead of $100. I can't see paying that since I have a perfect record and I'm over 30. What a scam.

 

wow! You're getting ripped for insurance. I'm 17 with an accident on my record and I only pay 46 a month for my 600. Anyway 600cc is plenty. I don't even know why we have 6 gears. With all that power you're cruising at 80 in 4th. I can't imagine having to ever shift past 2nd in town with a liter bike.

 

Welcome I love my 600RR. Never had anything bigger. Don't see it worth the extra cash for the bike and the insurance plus my 600RR goes faster than I will ever see and gets there damn fast, don't see the benefit to go bigger.
