Jeez, blades are really that powerful?
Man, I need at the very least one more full season on the 600, reading this makes me glad I cant afford to swap yet...
And yeah, this IS a very special place compares to others where I've been looking around,like when somebody writes like hay I'm trying to do a donut and wheelie at the same time most answers are either blaming of trolling or just outright attacking, resulting the newbie either to leave or be kicked out. This place is a whole another story.

Tires and pavement is cold most likely... and you're prolly a little throttle happy too.
Yolie is trying to skate a bit right now and it's a good 20 degrees warmer here. Especially when I first start off in the morning. TC kicks in before she can actually slip the rear. But I know the feeling of breaking the rear loose very well. Cols tires + cold pavement = easing on the throttle more than spring / summer /fall.
That said, the other's warnings are quite correct. You can't be throttle happy with a liter bike. I'm not familiar with the 900rr. But I went from a F4i to a s1000rr. Everything moved around, especially the powerband. Where my F4i started entering the powerband around 7.5k-8k, Yolie starts to get on at 10k+. And while I had to discover this stuff through experimenting and testing limits, I did not experiment with her in the middle of winter. If you're going to test limits, you do so under ideal conditions. That doesn't just mean an open road. It also means good WARM weather.
I mean no matter how much you warm up the tires, you can't warm up the pavement. And if you're all bundled up against the cold, that (and when the cold creeps in anyways) will desensitize you somewhat.

At least keep both wheels down till then. If anything right now is for getting used to the throttle. And learning how to make miniscule changes with it.

fyi. the 600 is a toy compared to the 900 or my 1kf for that matter. ive heard many stories with bad endings on that bike from my Honda dealership. its almost too light for the power. ive ridden a 600 and it feels like a kids bike, ooops did i just say that, my badddddd

I'm late to the party but after my first ride on my F3, I definitely felt it was enough for me after my 250. I only went to about 50 in 3rd and never over about 6 or 7k. Smiled the whole way home and my wife laughed and asked why I was talking to it lol
