Stick with a small bike and IF you can max that out go to a 600. And by max it out I don’t mean top speed, I’m talking dragging elbow in a turn and then feel the need for more. Most riders THINK they have maxed out a small bike yet have barely even scratched the surface of what that bike is capable of. > > Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 Truth, it’s all in the rider. I was blowing past GSRX 1k’s and a Ducati 1199R in on the track like they were standing still. It’s all in the rider, also I’ve been on the 250 I can “quick flick” it faster than my R6. I would assume it’s the smaller profile tires that come into play even my scooter when it ran was a quick little turner. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/novice-question/267565)._
