> well for the price difference and the difference in powerband. the 1000 seems like its gonna be more my forte. the 600 always has to be wound up high in the rpm’s where as on the 1000 power comes on much earlier. ive been looking at the 10’s and the 1000rr’s and im thinking the honda is gonna have to be at the top of the list.

If you want powerband buy a twin. There are plenty of appealing models out there.

I’ve known experienced riders who moved on to liter bikes and never have felt full confident of their new bike and ended up going back to small(er) CC.

There are plenty of others with mid range.

Gsxr750  
Sv650/1000  
Daytona 675  
Ninja 636  
Ducati 848  
Rc51

and more

I made a generalization that Gsxr is the most common squid bike and tends to attract the most of them, because of it’s looks, features, availability etc.

It’s just like saying Civic tends to attract the most ricers because of it’s qualities.
