Don't take my word for it...I still like RF-900's and ride a 16 year old bike.

I'd love to have a T595 or 955 as a street bike.

It's too bad Triumph doesn't bring it back with the 1050 motor.

IIRC that's what's in the Speed Triple.

Yep.

It's also in the Sprint and the Tiger too.

Okay, the Japs have gone a long way "recently" to distinguish the different displacement bikes BUT it's wasn't that long ago when you could literally take body parts off a GSXR 600 and put them on either a 750 or a 1000. For those who claim Yamaha is somehow "better" at this I give you the Thundercat and the Thunderace.... Oh and the CBR1000 and the new CBR600 are quite similar...

Welcome to the thread, Tigger.

Compelling argument.

You're about 3 pages late.

Not just bodywork Tigger, engine covers, wheels, brake parts, radiators, lots more...

Oh I know, I just stopped there... I owned a '97 YZF1000R and I've owned a '01, '03, '06 GSXR1000. Personally, I've always felt that this is genius on the manufacturer's part and something that some American automakers should emulate.

If I was about to get one and had those two side by side on the showroom floor I'd probably shoot myself because either way I couldn't live with my decision.

The Kawi 6RR was never known for low-end (I used to have an 03). But not all 600's are the same. If you had rode my 05 R6, I bet you never would had a problem with its sub-9K performance, unless you weigh 200+ of course.

People who say that you really have to rev out a 600 to get anywhere are just being stupid, unless they are talking about track riding.
