Why your bike?

I was talking with a young Airman today about motorcycles... and he asked why I chose JUST a 600.

I said what I always say... my little 600 will still do 140+... and 0-6 in under 4 sec... (or 0-on my back in 2sec when I'm riding

) that a 600 can carry more corner speed... but mostly... because I personally didn't NEED or WANT anything bigger...

but it made me think...

Why did you choose the bike you did? was it looks? peer pressure? the performance? the color? heavenly guidance?

Personallyâ€¦ I got my 600rr for two reasonsâ€¦ 1 it was a great deal and fit my circumstances. 2. It was the best fit for meâ€¦ I liked how light it wasâ€¦ the riding positionâ€¦(though hadnâ€™t sat on an 08â€¦ sat on Tripâ€™s 07â€¦ same thing) and didn't want anything bigger than a 600

so how about you?
