Funny....but it feels like it weighs as much as the Empire State Building once you've lost control of itNelso wrote:Also, stupid amounts of power make it really easy to do whoolies!![]()
........ and a 14 needs that amount of power because it weighs as much as a bus.

Re: Whats this?
yep when I first got on a 600 after the 10r I was worried I wouldnt get out of the pit lane before the session ended.Nelso wrote:
For now a 600 feels like a weapon to you because you are just experiencing the power for the first time but those that ride bigger bikes jump on them and think they are underpowered and rev the guts out of them to get them to go .

Re: Whats this?
but the 636 will never give the rush like the 14vivek67 wrote:Some good points. I see some merit in what you're saying.Nelso wrote:

After a while you will get used to the power and will start to wind that throttle on faster and earlier but even a small bike can spin the rear up at full lean so it's about using the all of the available power as you stand the bike up when powering out of the corner.
