Went thru a similar process a little over a year ago. Thought long and hard about the 675, very sweet bike but what tipped me away was long term parts and reliability. I put 44,000 or so on my FZ6 in 4 years so wanted a SS that would last. Bought a 2012 CBR600RR and have not regretted it at all. Best ergo's of any of the 600's from what I've read. Replaced the clipon's with Heil's which raised the hands almost 2", not much but made a real difference - probably older than most of the folks on this forum. Did not get ABS but will if I buy again.
When looking at used bikes there are lots of Suzuki's out there with high mileage which says something about the bikes and their riders - they are ridden a lot and they last.
Whichever you pick it will be a big change from the perspective of the brakes and the suspension but the power is not a lot different. Today I would have to think about the 750 but not interested in a 1,000. Well maybe I could be tempted with a BMW S....
Yea, should be quite a change. For now I'm planning on hanging onto the FZ6. It will definitely be better for going on long rides. If it winds up getting neglected then I'll probably sell it.
Is it monday yet? Blah
Haha yea, I've asked that a couple times in the last 24 hours.
