Since buying the red beast, I've made a real effort to baby her during the break in period. Today, while riding in to work, I opened her up a little to get into the powerband. What a rush! The scenery became a blur for a minute, and I could feel the power from my little 600 comin' on. The adrenaline started flowing... It was the most entertaining ride I've had thus far, even though it was very short... Kinda made me want to keep on going. Can't wait 'til I get the service done so I can get the RPMs up a little more! This is all the bike I'm gonna need for a while.....

Yeah... thats what I thought for the first month or two also. Then I started thinking... hmmm... so this is only around 60hp... imagine 100+hp... :smt119I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State.

I rode a GSXR1000 and it was INSANE. It was actually pretty quiet and easy to control at low speeds. The problem was keeping it at low speeds and managing the throttle. If you give it a small amount of throttle, the digital speedometer just skipped higher and higher. I'd think about getting a liter bike once I have more experience, but I'd never get all of the power out of it.

I gota liter bike, and it really is insane. Put along in first gear till about 5k on the tach, let go of the throttle, and rip back on it.... the front just comes up with zero effort. It is crazy insane.Kan-O-Gixxer!

Seriously, though, I can't imagine what big league horsepower feels like. If my little 600 can have such a high grin factor, something like tdrcomm's 'Busa would be just mind boggling...2005 Red Katana 600!
How y'all mom n' 'em?
