Ever try them both in tight technical twisties. That's where the 600 will shine and you will be much happier with the lighter weight. That's why a lot of people who live near mountains like 600s over 1000s. Of course I don't know where your skill level is at, so you may not notice a huge difference between the two.

Agree 100%. I'm only a couple of hours from the mountains at the most but most of my riding is around here. We have 'some' decent roads but not like the mountains.

I'm sure I'm no where near your skill level so I'm pretty sure you could pass me on a little bike or a Busa (maybe even a Goldwing ) at the gap. I really don't know the gap at all...only been on it a couple of times.

Might be a nice 2007 R1 in my garage within the week! Mint, already got some nice mods too. 3000 miles. $7,500.

Wifey approved. So this might become a reality sooner than I thought.

It amuses me that owners of all other makes want r1 throttle tubes because they give us quick action and r1 owners want honda tubes so they can do better wheelies

You mean R6 throttles?

Both work, the r6 is a bit more extreme than the r1, like 1/3 instead of 1/4
