If they were servin up %!¤stomp on a platter, they would deliver it by way of the 750 no doubt. Its virtually the same bike, weight and balance, with one huge advantage, powerplant. Pull up next to the frat boy on the R1 and watch him scurry around the corner like a frightened field rat. They know the badge, they know the potential, it´s just a matter of seconds before they realize they´ve been beat. Definitely the 750, as long as you respect the bike and your ability, you can grow into it. Don´t waste your money on the 600 unless you weigh 100lbs soakin wet.
