People who say that you really have to rev out a 600 to get anywhere are just being stupid, unless they are talking about track riding.
I'm not complaining necessarily about my bike being low on power sub-9K. I am just agreeing that it is.

Yes! If I want to keep up with my hubby on his 1000, then I keep mine revved up or he completely loses me.
