Ready For A Bigger Bike????

an r6 is plenty. you wont be able to do anything on a 954 that you cant do on the bike you already have. take it slow, your still pretty new to bikes in general so be careful

agreed, theres no need for that big of a bike those R6's are so light there easy to wheelie/stunt but if oyu really want a bigger new bike get a 636

well, how many miles do you have on it? If you don't have a lot then stick with it, I know it's nice to have a lot more low end torque though.

What about highway wheelies? I don't know how fast is the fastest you can get an r6 up at but I'd think a biggger bike would make that a ton easier.

stay with the 600, there's a reason why everyone ownes 600's and they've been around for years. If you think a R6 won't do things a liter bike will then you obviously aren't very experienced either.

Keep the 600 it'll pay off in the long run.

600cc is plenty....just ditch that R6 and get an F4I, 636, or any else besides the Yamisucka .

Ride honda

Be carefull learning, you sound alittle excited to jump into things, and that will get you hurt or killed. So pace yourself let it come to you and wear your gear!!
