yep yep...

2003 600RR all black. Had a minor fiasco with the insurance company that set me back about 2 hours, but I did get to put about an hour of seat time or so on it today...

Way cool bike, daddy likes.

Congrats!

If I was in the market for a 600, that'd be the one for sure. Is the seat as hard as they say?

In Seattle? Like you'd ever get a chance to ride it out of the rain other than a few weeks during the (snicker) Pacific Northwest summers.

Sorry my man... Had I been able to do the direct "take over" payments I would have been down for it. But the insurance kills me on a liter bike too. I can do a lot more with the cheap insurance on the 600RR.

It was SOOO rough... I feel like I am complete now. GROUP HUGGG!!!

But really, it helped to ride jetblast10's at jennings immensely. Riding your bike helped me realize that I'm not ready for liter power on the track as I am not ready to die just yet! So a 600 it was. The insurance difference made it worthwhile too... Its less than half what it was for my RC51.

Well, I only have a few miles under my belt, and a 6 month break from riding. I think I am out of "riding" shape for sure... Having said that, I can feel the seat is thin, but it doesn't bother me... Its very much like the RC seat in its thin-ness and I prefer that...

Picked Annie's up just now too. It's SMALL. Feels like I'm sitting way upright too. Not the bike for me.

Upright???? Compared to what???? The one I rode made me feel like I was sitting on the front wheel... It's seems a bit more aggressive than my 954

Re: I purchased and RODE my 600RR TODAY!
it is small. Compared to the RC, it feels like a toy.

It revs free and true... I like it. She's seen 10K rpm already... I don't think its too upright, i think the fairing is just THAT small...

I see now why I couldn't catch a stock 600RR on my highly geared and piped RC at VIR-S. These bitches just flat out MOVE! The gear ratios are VERY close together. I think there is very little RPM drop between gears... Really keeps the motor on the boil...

So far so good...

The handlebars are set a bit low and closer together compared to the 929 as well. Like RR said, you're basically sitting on the front wheel.

The 929 is a bitch bike, I was comparing the RR to the RC.

Okay, just "effing" around!
