Good job, and yes, I think you may be right...a little of the best of both worlds...

Trip, yes, I admit it, but the comment was so inane I just HAD to respond!!

Now if Yamaha just made one it would be perfect!



I got mine because it was the best thing I found in my price range. I love it though. Jumped from a Buell Blast to an R1, and have only ridden a 600 a few times in between. I really enjoy the liter bike. There is no need for it on the top end, but I love the power down low.

sorry, thought you were following up on why I don't like a 600 for commuting/casual riding. I don't like the buzz/higher rpm for any speed or having to downshift instead of just rolling on the throttle to go where I want.

My SuperHawk had a loud intake versus how quiet the stock exhaust was. Zoomie always loved to call it the Jetson's bike because of how it sounded.
