Test ride both the 1000 and 1400 and then choose for yourself.

NOW, let me rephrase this.... What bike do you guys think best suits me at this stage... Answer seriously or constructively, if not then just keep your fingers off your keyboard.. thank you

The one in your garage, the 600rr. If there was a decent 400rr available in the US, I'd be recommending that.

WOW!! wasnt this a surprise.... i ask for simple feedback and opinions and i get insults...

ok ok maybe i did use wrong context when i said i "mastered" the bike... i just didnt think the word wouldbe taken so literally... you can never master a bike completely.. if that were true that moto gp racers would never crash...

but its kind of hard when you take every turn with great speed and determination while ALMOST completly horizontal and sustain wheelies for over 5 sec... i know i have not mastered shyt simply because i am still afraid...

about the person that said i almost ran over an old lady.. the only fault i had was assuming that no one was in front of the car i blindly passed. plus that was shortly after i purchased the bike... this is 5 months later... mind you i ride my bike almost every day... not to mention weekend

im not here to start argments or problems.. i want opinions and facts... not statistics and insults.

i think i only saw two posts in this whole thread that answered my question directly....

NOW, let me rephrase this.... What bike do you guys think best suits me at this stage... Answer seriously or constructively, if not then just keep your fingers off your keyboard.. thank you

I have not flammed you at all but i'm sure your not almost horizontal or else your knees would be tore up from dragging knees, and 5 sec wheelies? people can carry them for 5 miles.....

Hahaha this thread is funny, coming from a guy who said GSX-Rs are only made for speed/straight lines and suck for everything else. I can't wait to move from my RC51 to a GSX-R750!

Are you nuts!!! I used to ride a TL1000 and love the V-Twin torque. What ever you do keep the RC51.

Why is it that everyone always thinks so how they need anything more then a 600 for the streets? Do you ride at over 167 all the time..lol Can you take turns at over 100 for some ungodly reason? I will never get it... I have work in the motorcycle biz for 12 years and still don't get the hipe with have a big cc bike. It all ghetto fab. people who want to do crazy burnouts and ride at 200mph plus on the high way cause that's cool. As for wheelies WTF if you can't wheelie a 600 then stop doing wheelies!!!! For sure you are a unsafe rider if you feel you need a big bike for any of those reasons. Stick to a 600 and push yourself at the track or something. There is no way you have master this bike!
