RE: Is you bike small to you now?
Actually not smaller but it does feel lighter. I sat on the 1kRR Repsol the other day (at the dealership) and it felt a little long, NOt big per se, but long. I 'm pretty shure I would be comfortable riding it but I wouldn't change my 600 for the wold. The 1k repsol is sexy as hell, and has bragging right allritght but I still think the power of a1k is exesive for the street. The 600 is plenty fast for me, and comfortable too.

Your newer 600 has excessive power for the street. They can hit the highest speed limits in the country in first gear.
I mean isn't excessive power the point of a sportbike?
Anyways, however much power is used on the street comes down to the rider not the bike.
And a 1000 is actually a better "street only" bike because it has enough torque that you don't have to rev it like crazy to get going. Which in turn puts excessive power to the street.

I strongly disagree.

I disagree with that.

eh? im like 5' 10" and 200lbs...not a fattie either. so i feel like im too short for the newer bikes...but in no way are they "cumbersome" to handle if that makes any sense?
i just like to be able to flat foot my bike at a stop...hmmm.....if youre in the same position, it makes sense...hahah
