Go for the bigger bike because you will grow tired of whatever you get and
want it faster anyhow.

thats right, and **** that "its too big" crap.
I seen plenty of small guys on big bikes.
You will buy a smaller bike, grow tired of it, then want a bigger
bike and lose money on the 1st one.

RC51 - With aftermarket cans this thing sounds awesome! Very few around
Speed Triple - Looks cool, cool engine, very few out there.
I almost bought the Speed Triple. But with where I live the drivers are so bad I knew someone would kill me sooner rather than later. I mean, if 5 people in 5 years ran into my bright blue Camaro, how long would it take for one of these clowns to hit me on a bike? My car's as fast as either of them anyway!!

97 cbr 445lbs
97 YZF600 482lbs
97 GSXR 600 435 lbs
97 ZX6 463 lbs
my cbr was a 97 so i make this comparison, once i had sprockets, rejet, pipes etc, i didn't really see the need for anything bigger, but maybe i'm weird. The honda wasn't the heaviest then, though it may be now. The honda heavy thing is BS

and IMHO (in my honest opinion) when cornering on my friend's cbr it "feels" heavy, like it requires extra effort as compared to say my 92 katana, which in itself is a fat beast, but i think the new r1's are some crazy ****, took one for a ride, came back shaking in joy/fright/need to use restroom

GSX1300R Hayabusa with Yoshimura pipes sounds dreamy, looks great, and can do
wheelies @70mph!
Plus when you're on the freeway @60mph in 4th, the tach reads 3000rpm.
redline's at 13000(yes thousand) and you still have 5th and 6th to go
