    I think the 750's seat may be a bit longer. It certainly felt like it to me but then I rode on a Corbin for several years before I sold the 750 so...

    Being used to a 750, when I sat on a friend's 600 it just felt really small and cramped to me. I'd have to take a look at the numbers but it's possible the steering geometry is a bit steeper on the 600 as well.

      The top of the triples on any of the 600 vs 750s are different. The 750 has risers about 1-1.5" higher than the 600s. This would account for the difference in seating. I don't think the fork tubes on the post kats were different in length like they are on the pre kats. Pre kats have 11mm shorter tubes for the 600. Wouldn't take much to look it up, but don't have time atm to confirm that.

        I would keep the bike you have and keep looking for fairings on Craigslist. Cleveland/Youngstown/Pitts isn't too far from you Then once I got the fairings you needed, You can paint or get them painted to what you want.. As for the 32k, like everyone else said.. You got plenty more to put on it... And even if you make it "yours" and the engine blows up in the future, then you'd just have to change the engine at that time. Good luck with anything you do.
