Ive just bought mine after owning a 600 for a year and its got more than enough power, I had my 600 out on the track and loved it. It got smashed on the straights but the handled great on corners. The 900 has loads better handling and the power is there when you want it. I would rather have this bike than a V-max that kills an R1 at the lights but rides like a drunken mule round corners. THIS IS A FAST MOTORCYCLE! ONE OF MANY!
