I have a 600RR and a 954RR. I like the 954 for the straight-line power, but the 600 twists and turns at the track better. So...I ride the 954 on the street and the 600 on the track. And at my age, I'm certainly not out-growing anything.

Careful. Our waistbands tend to make lies outta statements like that as we age

well.. i havent bought anything as of yet. Theres a guy in WI that has a 2002 F4I with 20,000 miles for 3200 bucks. Just thinking that the R6 is a better deal though.

I picked up black ops last night, only played the campaign but so far so good.

It's blue so you're forgiven Now the debate is over I'll say my piece:

I feel the type of rider you are will decide if you "outgrow any bike. I think of myself as a very "technical' rider. I'm constantly muttering in my helmet that I could have taken this curve tighter. It's very unlikely that I'll ever outgrow any bike I own because speed rarely factors in.

Here's a good article to read for an explanation: The Pace by Nick Ienatsch. Ninja, CBR, Hyabusa... the bike's engine won't matter in The Pace

Nice R6.... looks like it's in really good shape and the price is right. The important part is having fun and staying safe out there no matter what you're riding.

Besides, we can't all be super awesome honda riders. lol...

Not yet buddy. I think this weekend. I've been swamped with work so far.
