You can kill yourself just the same on all of them.  I guarantee unless you are a professional rider the differences in the bikes with be negligible.   It's much more about what feels and looks the best. 

If we're talking 08's here, the Honda is a little round the front for my liking and the Gixxer 1000 is alright.  I'm really not a Yamaha fan but they do have the best looking bike IMO this year.

I see, well I would still say just go look a few bikes.  It's really what feels best for you.  Everyone is different.

Personally I don't see the point of a liter bike, I really like the size of my 600 but if you want a liter, it's going to be your bike, get what you want.

Yes, the 600s are a smaller frame but I'm 6'3 210lbs and I don't have a problem with them.  I actually like the feeling of the bike being a little smaller.  Makes me feel more in control.

no matter what the weights say honda dominates the 600cc class..  they win everything until the supertest in which the triumph daytona just won for the 3rd straight year


That's exactly what I'm debating on purchasing! Just put $500 down on a black 675 a couple days ago.

wait a second, the OP hasent even rode a street bike? or a 600?!

and you want a 1000cc super sport bike!?



that is a horrible idea imo......

youd be very lucky not to hurt/kill yourself, or mess up the bike pretty bad.


DONT get a 1000cc imo, get a 600.......

btw 03_gt_woowee, nice ass 675 love that color.
