Depends on by how much, because even if you give it 20 hp.. 600's would still beat it today.

IDK.. I guess I just don't like the styling of older sportbikes.. but it does sound pretty cool with the revs that high and come to think of it, i still get a kick out of the "peaky" hp of my 600.. couldn't imagine what the rg500 feels like.. haha. To each their own I guess.

If you have to ask, you wouldn't get it.

No it's not about that..
I guess I just don't understand the fact of buying something because of it's history. Like all those cars on Mecum auto that go for far more just because they won a few races or had this original trim or whatever else besides the car/bike itself dictating the price. Old cars I can understand a bit because they look sexy and while not able to perform at all, I could see why they would cost a bit, but this thing is ugly.

Zactly. It's about the feeling you get with it, not its numerical performance characteristics. It's the EXPERIENCE that counts in the end.
