Let the flames roll in from that comment if they do but a 750 is plenty of bike for what you need. Im no expert either, but i know theres no reason id need a liter bike.

Re: I'm convinced...the GSXR-1000!
whoa wait, thought u said u wouldn't have any bike under 1000cc's? and my point is, someone who can't hold bp, can still ride a mile long wheelie on a liter bike, chasin bp like it's their job and still keep it up forever...but with a 6, if u're not at bp, u'r done quick

Re: I'm convinced...the GSXR-1000!
crtchrktrcr if you are talking to me, I don't think I ever said that I would never have a bike under 1000cc's. I am not discriminating against the 600-750's. I like them. I just happen to like the 1000's better thats all. I have done some research, I can get a 1K at the same price as the 750 and gain just a little bit of weight for a hell of a lot more power!

I plan on learning on doing wheelies the right way, IN TIME. I am not just going to go out and do wheelies just because I can without getting close to BP. I will eventually learn where the BP is on the 1000 and be set. IN TIME.

trust me i've been through all the ppl sayin a liter bike is too much blah blah, but i had a gix6, gix 750, then a gix1k... takes time, and they act a lot diff then any 600... when u'r in a turn in 2nd gera, and u get on it, that ***** thinks u're rossi and likes to swing on u, and if u don't know what u're doin , wham highsided,,, nevermind the first and 2nd gear roll ons that have that thing flyin up on u... i feel like i can throw around my f4i like nothin, i think it makes u a better rider havin a 6cc

Others probably understand where im commin from. Im just tryin to keep the man from killin himself.
A 600 to a 1k is one thing... but a 250 to a 1k is like a 50 to a 600
