i agree with gixxereater ive always owned a 600 becasue i dont like the feel of haveing to put alot of force into entering a turn. and now a days some 600s almost run the same as 1000's they are pretty close im a skinny guy so a 600 is great for me

IMO the 600 is fine for most riders. It's cool to say you have a 1000 or bigger, but really how fast do you need to go on the street? Bt the way the KAW 636 is damn fast for it's size. A buddy of mine has an 03 636 with a full two Bros exhaust and it kicks the **** out of my F4

ok lets put it this way, how old ar eyou and how long have you been riding?

personally i think you should be required to have your endorsement for 5 years min. before getting on a bike bigger than 750cc's (cruisers) and 600 (sport)

if you cant say that you know how your bike is going to react better than you know ......your ****...

then youre not ready for a litre

600s are nice to flick aroundand morepowerful than most people think. Once you ride a 1000 it'll likely make you think you're bored with your 600, but you can scare the crap out of your self on either. There is also a difference in the 1000 that you happen to be riding. For example: My buddie has a K7 GSX-R1000 and I ride a K1 1000. Both are really fast but the K7 is brutal. The same with my other friends '06 ZX10. You don't realize the difference untill you ride a 600 and then turn right around and ride a 1000. Your F4i has all the power you need to get your self killed in a heart beat. Take it slow and don't get the 1000 envy like alot of squids with 600 who think they've got something to prove to us liter bike riders so they are alwayse trying to haul ***. I prefer 1000s myself; I like powering up third gear at 100mph.

the zx 14 is a great touring sport bike. Its not track worthy but if you still want to haul *** while riding long distances thats the bike of choice.

600 = Toyota Prius
1000 = Toyota Supra Twin Turbo

Which would you rather not wreck due to inexperience...Learn the ropes man, before you start swinging tree to tree...

I dunno if you've drivin a prius, because thats a horrible comparison. A prius would compare to a 50 with a 500lb black women riding it.

Liter bike man, 600s are for teenagers and girls. Men ride 1000s..................................oh ****.
I hope thats a joke because if not its the stupidest thing I have read in this thread with the second stupidest being 'I'm to big for a 600' which is bs. May have use to been true but I doubt. Now the 600 n 1000 are about the same size lenght/weight wise. maybe, MAYBE an inche. Especially in Honda's camp. Its the speed/power people like just admit it and leave the bs at the door lol
