i won't deny that they're fun to ride, and waaaay more comfortable than my bikes as well.
My buddy just got a 09 R6 and Ill admit I had fun playing on it, not what I am used to but it was very flickable in the turns.

The most poseur-esque machines I know are the exotic cars. Probably 5% of them actually get used the way they were designed to be. Shame.
i agree 100%...

lol i've driven plenty litre bikes, and for me the power's not needed, i don't need to justify my 600's to anybody, to me they handle better and the power is ideal. to each their own, no sense in arguing that. i've been on bikes since i was 12, street bikes since i was 16, I just love 600's.

There is no question that 600s are a blast to ride. I love them myself - perfect for throwing around on a track, too. For the top end roll on stuff I do, they are not as exciting as the open classers.

well good to each their own then huh. I own 4 different bikes 08 gsxr 600, 02 zx9r, 05 c-90, and my 05 velocity turbo busa. I just dont understand how someone can tell you that what someone else rides is crap. You as a rider should know better than most that it is a personal prefferance thing and every bike has its own purpose

point taken... do you really have a turbo busa? that must just be ridiculous to ride. is it manageable on the street even?
