Me:Hint: Chics don't dig high sides.

I'll save you the trouble of getting flamed by everyone and point you here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=585065">http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=585065</a><!-- m -->

Seriously, never having ridden a bike, why do you think you need a 1000? Not saying you can't ride one and enjoy it but even a current 600 supersport pulls ten's in the quarter mile...

At any rate, if I had to recommend one or the other to a newb, I'd say the 1000RR because by all accounts it is the most rider friendly of the current crop of liter bikes.

DrewWi22i been for a ride on a bike before just havent driven.... ive driven a dirt bike and yeah its different but the priciple is the same

So this guy PM's me...
