I am curious how does one feel after spending a long time on a 1000cc and then riding a 600cc. Is there such a big difference?

I have read plenty of oppinions on going from 600 to 1000 but none the other way around

My 1000rr makes my 600f4 feel like a scooter. Its a lot of fun revving that 600 through traffic just to pass a car, where the torque from the 1000 was brutal. After a few weeks of 600 therapy, my 1000 feels like a whole new bike.

I have a 954 for the street and I bought a 600RR for the track and coudn't be happier. In fact you can out drive a lot of liter bikes on all but the longest straights. The only problem is if you have an equally skilled rider on a liter, than you have a hard time getting past.

wolley, what about normal street driving - isn't a 1000 more comfortable with the higher torque?

You just have to work a bit harder with a 600.

Compared to the 1000 there is nothing at low revs then it all comes in at once at the top

Be prepared for 6th gear to 3rd gear downshifts for passing. The 600 will take a lot more shifting to ride the same.

The 600 is easier to turn in (less muscle). On the street keeping the RPMs high to have power is a pain. I can't see myself having a 600 as a street bike after the 1000. On the track keeping the RPMs high the 600 is good everywhere except the long straights. A 1000 will catch you at the end and possibly block your line.

Going from a 929 to an 06 is not a fair comparison to the liter bike comparison. That 06 is gonna be wicked and 3 generations newer.
