 | On the Road Again...Just can't wait to get on the Road again Some of you may recall I recently crashed my 02 954  . I went to the dealer this weekend and picked me up an 04 600RR. Why not the 1k you ask? A few reasons 1) First, the $2300 difference in price (not to mention the insurance difference) (side note: I didn't claim the 54' on my insurance - so this is all out of pocket) 2) I don't feel I learned much with the 954 as a first bike (yes, I can now admit testosterone blurred my vision before), and 3) although I love the 1K, I still have the 954 for my over powered speed fix for those rare track days. I'm sure we can all agree, the world is a safer place because of this decision  | |

| Re: On the Road Again...Just can't wait to get on the Road again I thought I'd also include a quick "first ride review": Pros: 1) fantastic handling 2) they cleaned up the plastics near the instrument cluster - good looks 3) great gear transition 4) feel very much a part of the bike 5) sit taller like a GP racer Cons: 1) like the 954, the seat is a plank. 2) tough to get used to the lower RWHP 3) Ummm...okay, I was stretching to get this many cons - this bike rocks! Note: This review has not more basis of truth then my own miandering experience(s). |

| Re: On the Road Again...Just can't wait to get on the Road again That 600rr will be better suited for track duty. IMHO.  Congrats, did you let the wife ride it? |
