600cc vs 750 GSXR

[silentx]

Does 750 gsxr has a LOT more power than a 600?
Or Does 750 GSXR has alitte bit of power than a 600?



What I am trying to say is Can you notice the difference?

I do know the bike are almost the same.. I mean the size etc. the Weight too almost the same. ( 750 is a few pounds more than the 600)

Lets say that you have never ridden a 600 or a 750... and you get on both of these bike at a time and start riding would you say WOW.. 750 accelerates and goes whole lot faster than 600?

IF you around crimson..? and you have riddn a 600 U know what to say

i can only compare the 1000 and the 750.

power... i can say i noticed less power on the 750.

handling... can't say for sure since i was just starting to ride canyons when the 1k was stolen... but the 750 is supposed to have better handling than the 1k.

By all accounts it's noticable if you've ridden both. If you haven't it's probably irrelevant, because at this point either bike will feel substantially more powerful that what you've ridden so far.

Absolutly! And it makes perfect sense.

Now Ive never ridden a ninja 250... but im sure I will notice a difference between it and my ninja 500. You know whats interesting? The 500 reminds me of my old 125 cc two stroke competition dirt bike. I could be wrong, but the power to weight ratio could be very similar between the two. Although there are alot of differences, it does remind me of the other bike.

And 600's are by far no slouch. There are alot of people out there that don't even realise that there are bikes that fall below their "600cc entry level only". 600cc sportbikes are middle weights... they arn't entrylevel and by no means are their top numbers for horsepower "lightweight". There was even a time where 250cc was considered middle weight... and 750cc machines were what we could compare to how we view openclass heavyweight machines today.

For years and years motogp was restricted to 500cc at the very top. There was a time where the 400cc sport bike class was as cutthroat as how the 600cc class has become today. My bike has what, 53 whp when shes in the right rpm... there was a time where 50+ horsepower could only be made by factory racing class bikes!

Sorry for the long posts, like this one, but im just trying to pass on what had to be hammered in my head over and over again by the more fortunate that survived to let me learn from their lifes experiences. Im sure there was suppost to be a point somewhere in my post.. but I think I just started blabbering

Edit: Oh yea I remember now. Everyday I find myself drooling and dreaming over the new r1... but then im lucky enough to have my next thought afterwards telling me what an insane thing that would be for me to do. If anything... I will become a better, faster rider, by learning to control my 500 with finess around the turns, moving up to a 600 and learning smooth cornering control. All before moving up to a 750 or 1000cc bike. If I were to move up to quickly and to far beyond a 600... I would actually learn slower on the r1 or gsxr 750 and become more of a danger to myself and my surroundings... than if I were to move up to a 600.

Koss I think that's a very logical, smart way to look at it. That's exactly how I look at it. I myself was heartset on getting a 600cc bike for my first and I decided against that. I'd much rather have a 250 or 500 to learn on and master cornering and controlling the bike and being able to do so without scareing the pants off of myself if I sneezed or hit a bump, my hands slips, and the RPM's shoot up to 8,000RPM's on an R6(which was the bike I was set on getting).

My dream is to get into racing, not anytime soon obviously, but at some point. So I figure the best way to get about it is to start out slow and smaller and work my way up, as opposed to starting at a 600cc and probably have a million close calls if not an accident or two(god forbid).

Yea me too, before I started listening to experienced riders (this forum helped out tremendously, thanks you guys, and thanks to all the others who havn't find this forum yet but helped me out anyways ) I too lusted after an r6! And I'd love to get into racing, after I feel confident enough in the necessary skills. I raced dirt bikes when I was a young teenager... but thats different in my book.

Until we see eachother on the race track!
