Funny....but it feels like it weighs as much as the Empire State Building once you've lost control of it :lol:

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 .
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. :oops: :oops: Just didnt seem to go :oops:

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.




Also, stupid amounts of power make it really easy to do whoolies! :twisted:

Some good points. I see some merit in what you're saying.

But can I just say, the 14 will never look as sexy as my 636 :kuda:
but the 636 will never give the rush like the 14
