Are you joking?

I have a 636 and I don't have to "rev the shit out of it" to keep up with anything.

Where is peak power made on 600cc machines. Go ahead, look it up, I'll wait.

I don't know nor am I going to look it up to argue with you on the internet.

I just don't understand why you feel you can't keep up with a 675 motor.

I ride with all types of riders and bikes and never feel like I'm working at it.

Who said anything about keeping up? Not me. I'm talking about making power. And it's done in the upper registers of the RPM range. Plain and simple. I'm not arguing...they are great bikes. I just prefer a larger engine in a different configuration.

I'm sorry. I read it as keeping up but after looking back I see you said "getting a response" out of it. Fair enough!

Still sexy!

Dont get me wrong, they are awesome bikes. If I was in the market for a fully faired middleweight I'd be looking at a Triumph. Especially the blue and white. I love blue and white bikes. The Buell XB's, the 1125, the Triumphs.

Yea, I can't ride a 600. I put tires on my buddy's bike last week and rode it to his house for him and I hated every mile. There is just something about a liter bike that appeals to me...

I put a new from tire on he R6 Friday night and took it out for a spin to check everything after I was finished. I 'almost never' ride the R6 anymore since my wife took it over and started riding. I hopped on it...hit the road...all seemed good at low speed...warmed the tires up and hit it and was like WTF...I thought something was wrong with it and then remembered where the power was. After I hit 10k it was a beast from then on but down low...not so much.

I know this 675 and even the 636 mentioned would have more down low...or at least I think they should but up top the R6 is a blast.

Saturday morning we got up and went for a ride. I hopped on my R1...hit the road...went through the gears and said..."ahhhh...daddy's home !!"

I know the track is different but on the street...give me my litre please.

I've already mentioned that I think the 675 in the original post is sexy...and it is !!

As far as middleweights go I still prefer the GSXR750, not that I'd own one again but... liter performance from a 600 weight class... you can't beat it.

I really like the 750 quite a bit.

The 675's whole gimmick is that it has more torque than a 600 I4...but in reality the torque numbers aren't that much different. I'd imagine the triple puts its peak torque down in the rev range a bit more than the I4.
