Sure - we all read it as BS - but the original poster would have little feel for the absolute reak of BS having not ridden a new 600.

It pisses me off to see people posting absolute crap and having it passed off as truth... sometimes it isn't something as foolish as this, but something that is honestly dangerous (Like young riders spouting off cornering advice).

I think we need a BS button on our profiles - for every thread you can click it once... after awhile the perpetual BS spewing idiots will have their BS meter so high, that even the new posters will not even read their garbage posts.

Ya, I like the BS meter thingy idea ... personally the highest gear I ever power wheelied in was 4th on a 305hp turbo busa. Would pin your ears back in 6th but would not heft the front wheel up.

And the F4 will wheelie in 1st and 2nd... but really to get a good one requires a lot of clutch - and all that does is makes the biggest hit of torque it can make... To get that kinda leap in torque in 6th would be impressive... and absolutely frightening in first and second.

You're an admin - you could always tag them

an attempt to bring this thread away from bs and if people need the power of a liter bike.

how do the ergonomics on a 1000rr compair to a 600rr, are they any different? people aways say that they want a liter bike for more room, but do they have any more room? I have never gotten the pleasure of riding a 1000rr, i rode a 07 zx-10 once, it reminded me of an f4i, but newer and with alot more power. (i dont have much time on them, but they felt similar.). do they handle much different then a 600rr?

Of the bikes i have ridden my 600rr feels the smallest/most cramped, but i like that (i am 5'7") I also like how low my bars are, f4is feel to tall and narrow, i would not feel confident throwing it into a corner.

also my 03, WOT in first will not power wheelie unless I am trying to, which I think is a good thing.
