Hes not looking to get a 1000. He's looking to go to another 600 or maybe a 750, if he really does suck at riding hes going to kill himself one day anyways.

From the description you gave you might end up killing YOURself one day.

And why is that?

Keep this in mind- If you ride like there is no tomorrow, there isn't going to be one. Pick up some books on riding like "Total Control", "A twist of the Wrist" and "Proficient Motorcycling". They will definitely improve your riding ability.

Don't forget "Riding the Pace".

ooo I didn't read that one yet

[Even]

And why is that?

"My buddy and I were taking corners today and I was right behind him on my 636 and he has an R1. Its all about the rider, not the bike. My 636 will scare the crap out of me if I want it too, pull the front tire in 1st and 2nd gear and do 120 in 2nd"

Don't get me wrong i do plenty of stupid shit myself and i'm sure your a good rider, but just be careful with that shit.

Trust me I am careful, its a road that you can clearly see through every corner so nothing will sneak up on you. We take one pass through first to make sure there isn't any sand or anything on the road and take it easy since the roads are still cold. I made it seem like I was just being a tard but trust me its not like that. And I found out my bike can do 120 because....well....blue lights. Thats a non-internet story though.

I am definitely not a bad rider. After about a month of riding i was more than comfortable on the CBR600, it was an 04 F4i. I am only lookin into 600's and the 750's depending on which i can find a better deal. Thanks for the thoughts though...my main point was how different can two 600's be?

i think its only a matter of time before everyone who rides gets some sort of injury..

Thats kind of a shitty way to look at it.

I understand the risks involved, its just not a good way to put it.

I like cruisers, I had a 2001 Suzuki marauder 805CC, and that was a pretty fun bike. This past summer I got a 2005 Honda VTX 1300R and couldnt be happier. The thing has a ton of tq and more than enough power for me, and it looks nice, gets almost 50mpg and rides amazing.

Anyways to the OP. Dude I would go get the 750 Gixxer if I was you, if you get the 600 your going to end up wanting the 750. I was going to get the 750 but I decided rockets arent for me as I like doing really long rides and being comfortable is an important thing for me, vs all the weight on your wrists all the time.

Get the 750, dont look back.

I'm looking into these right now

ever since day one i've known that every time i throw my leg over my bike, there is a chance im not going home.. weather it be my mistake or someone else on the road..

getting a bike and thinking nothing will ever happen to you is ridiculous..

I never said I think nothing will happen. I just hope that nothing does.

Same though, every time I leave on it, I make sure I say bye to everyone vs just leaving the house like I sometimes do with the jeep. You never know, and its a shitty place out there, with all these people on the roads. Cell phones, drinking, and pure stupidity have made it a very dangerous place to enjoy the simple things in life like a motorcycle.
