You guys are killing me!!!

I think it has a lot to do with where you are coming from. When I traded in my V-Max for my FZR1000, it took me forever to get used to how "high" I had to rev the bike to get a decent launch. I actually stalled the damn thing quite frequently until I got used to it!

I doubt that you can find an "expert" that won't tell you that a 1000 is a far better bike for city riding than a 600 simply because of the amount of torque and the way it is delivered.

IMHO for city riding or freeway commuting a liter bike is better hands down.
