Being flat down low though...in all honesty did play in to the reason my wife was turned loose on one as her first bike. She's not a kid so she paid attention when I told her DO NOT rev it past 8k...period !!

Now that it's been 2 years she revs the pizz out of it.
Yea that was always part of my argument for 600s as starter bikes. As long as you stay out of the higher rev range, it's a pussy cat!
