I don't like the way the handling feels. The steering feels heavy. I rode a buddy's '05, the year you have may be different and wasn't fond of it at all. It just felt heavy to me. And I think you're underestimating the corner speeds you can carry on my R6. It pulls like a 750 above 12k, my buddy who owns one that I let ride mine fr a full day told me. I'm sure I could get use to the 750, but have no desire to. I'm still waiting on Yamaha to put out a 750. I honestly think I'll always be on a 600 though.

i think the 05 dont even compare to the 08's

a setup 08 750(i know your r6 is setup just how u like it) mite surprise u. but thats neither here nor there

but hey if u start racing, ill roll out to lvms 4the races, racing is the shit

I'm leaning a lot more on the side of it'll surprise me, rather than disappoint me. But ultimately a 750>600, like you said.

You tried Danny's 848 right??? Imagine that only instead of a nice constant, torquey pull, it tries to rip your arms out of the sockets! That's the 1098 and it's SOOOOOO much more fun than my 600rr was!

With 1:25-1:26 at LVMS you'll probably be top 10. The passing is totally insane though. You have to set it up early and be COMMITTED to making it! One thing I learned too late is that you don't have to get PAST someone going into the corner, you just have to get POSITION on them.

You mean set them up, so you get more pull coming out of the corner and accelerate or late-brake past them in the next? I liked Danny's 848 a ton, but I never romped on the gas to feel the pull. I'm sure there's plenty of it, but the lack of top end in the twins isn't something I look forward to. What does your 1098 top out at? The handling was fucking amazing, but in the end, it's just too expensive.

Yeah that is my biggest negative about the 848, for that price you can have a really nice 600 and another nice cheaper bike like a motard/dirt bike/adventure bike.

You'll have to do both. It took a long time for me to realize that late braking someone doesn't involve getting past them before you turn in. All you have to do is get even with them on the inside so that they know you're there. You'll get the hang of it. That's half the fun!

Yeah, so they'll feel your presence and they can either continue cutting in and take you out or respect the fact he just got owned, right? I see that shit all day in the 250/125 GP races.
