Thanks for all the replies guys. I got off and back on and there is a ton to read. Also I love Honda's and have always rode them, but I have heard to go with a Yamaha when it comes to street if I enjoyHonda on the dirt. My CRF450r was no where close to slow as I would not let many people ride it worrying they would get hurt. I have seen a couple of people get thrown right off that bike.
let me know when you get one, I ride with a lot of sport bike riders

Regardless of what you had done to your single cylinder 450r, it won't even be close to what a 600 inline 4 will produce. You're talking a whole different world when it comes to inline 4 sport bikes. The 600's don't produce as much torque as some bikes, but hold on when you start pushing the rpm's up past 7k or so. The 1000 cc sport bikes will make most men rethink their priorities real quick, been there and done that. Good luck with your choice, either one will be a fine machine. I've always been a Triumph fan, as well as Suzuki, BMW, Aprilia, and Honda as well, but Yamaha has the market cornered when it comes to sport bikes.
My first bike was a 2005 GSXR600 and it was a blast!! Trust me, a 600 will be plenty!!!! I was told this when deciding between a 1000 or 600....."just pick what color you want, you will die just as easy on either of the two."
But really, going fast is fun and it's a rush, riding wheelies is about as gay as Bedouin and will get you hurt, but dragging that knee and hitting curvy mountain roads is as much fun as you will ever have!
I was gonna say snatch this up but it's gone...these bikes are bad bad machines!!!

Another thing to consider a 600 will cost less than a 1 liter bike. So you can find a newer 600 for the same amount of cash. Newer is definitely better in this case. EFI is priceless and aftermarket goodies are easier to find for newer bikes. Try to find one with and exhaust and power commander already installed, you'll want both anyway.
Now for the flame war...... a 600 is way more fun to ride(personly I love 750's) than a 1 liter. Its too easy go fast in a straight line on a 1k bike. Rolling into the low 3 digits in first gear is awesome, but useless for most riding. On 600 you have to earn it, you work to go fast, its kinda like riding a 125 compared to a 500 off road. You flog the hell out of that 125 and always want more and an open bike is twist and go. A good rider on 600/750 will eat 1k bikes all day long in the mountains.

This is the MSF course I was telling you about.
MSF CAMPUS @ ALPHARETTA (770) 442-2043 (It's the Honda Training Center)
The MSF Basic RiderCourse is designed as a 15-hour curriculum that takes place over a few days or consecutive weekends.
Here's a link to their site: http://msf-usa.org/index_new.cfm?pa...3D5-64D098C9870C8030&referer=MSF RiderCourses
Basically it's a weekend of course riding and classroom experience that will equip you in 2 days what it would take the most riders 2 years to learn. Not only will it make you a better rider, it will give you more confidence riding on the street, it will provide you a certificate / card that will qualify you for insurance discount and you will receive an exemption for the Georgia motorcycle driving exam. Basically you take the course, pass the course, get your license and insurance discount.
I can not express enough how important this class is to all riders. I grew up riding and racing dirt bikes (primarily Suzuki RM's) and had a street bike when I turned 18, but I sold that a few years later and hadn't had a street bike for years after that. I "knew" a lot of the instruction meaning it was familiar to me, but it helped reinforce, re-educate and re-equip me for what I had forgotten. However there was a great deal of things I learned that I never knew, even after years of experience. It was the best $225 I spent and I feel that I am 1000% better and safer rider.
