I'm not digging at you, but moving from a modern 600cc sportbike to a liter bike is a big jump in brute force. It's not just the weight of the bike or whether the geometry is comfortable, but it's the tuning of the lump of metal nestled beneath you that's an issue.
Ride what you want. Ride responsibly. Know your limits. Don't become a statistic...

You are one stupid & ignorant bastard
"Everyone is different" - no, not really. All beginner riders are the same, you are nothing special
"you ride couple months, you feel comfortable" - You rode just barely enough to get used to what levers do. Dont get too comfortable, a lady may be crossing a road
"come the fuk on man. this is getting ridiculous..now you people are trying to ridicule somone else for no reason?" - you are a stubborn dumb****. People just call it as they see it
"how is it so hard to understand that at my hieght and weight it feels i need something bigger..." - a liter superbike is same exact dimensions as your 600. Almost weight the same. you are running out of excuses
"arent ambitous in being the best they can be in riding motorcycles like i would like to be.." - if thats true, get a 400. People do learn faster on smaller bikes. Consider SV650 you f@cking muppet if you actually care about getting good on a bike
"either you people dont understand at all, or all of you are like 5'5" - Oh, I understand. You are one poser who knows better then everyone else. Take your 600 to a track.... before you sell it. maybe you will get a clue what you currently have, and what level you are are really at

Bottom line, get what you want. Your life. Your decision. Personally I like the R1, so I would get that if I was shopping.

mr laguna.... you are obviously asking the right question in the wrong place.
i see nothing but a bunch of "know-it-alls" that know nothing at all.
it's your money. your life. respect the bike and you'll be fine.

Georgia? What a waste of gas. Hows about we meet up 1/2 way? I'm in Gainesville, so calculate the 1/2 way point. Thanksgiving's a bad weekend, I'll be headed to Tampa. Let me know whens good for you...and don't bring your 'crew' to back you up, if I see anyone else, I'll let you know I'm carrying.
