First ride trackday pics
After almost 10 weeks I finally got to ride my new race bike for the first time All I can say is wow, I feel like everyone who has been riding a 600 knew this huge secret and didn't want to tell me. It turns so much better, the gearbox is 10x better then my old 929, it goes where I want it to with ease and I couldn't be happier. The rear end was way over sprung for me which made for a really rough ride but I've got a new spring on the way and it should be here in time for the 11/12 trackday. It ran strong all day and made every dollar, which turned out to be a lot, well worth it. The best part is that it is about 1000 times lighter then the old Honda which makes loading and unloading considerably easier

You're going to love it. I honestly can't explain how much easier it is to ride then the bigger bikes IMO.

Thank you. I have been working on it each time I'm at the track for the past year and a half, finally it is starting to pay off.

I agree, 600's are for girls If I wasn't such a pussy I would buy a real bike, like a Harley?

That doesn't happen with a 929 and a 600RR. A 1000RR yes, but not a 929.
