this is not about doing burnouts, popping wheelies and doing a bunch turning..... i simply feel like i have outgrown my bike.. i find it amazing that those of you who have been into the bikes for over 10 years cant understand the what i am trying to say...

instead you choose to place me in the statistics/squids category... im sorry but this is bullshyt

You are trying to say that you have MASTERED an '07 600rr. I know what you are trying to say, I've been a licensed motorcyclist for 22 years and I haven't mastered motorcycling by any stretch of the imagination.

You are trying to say, "Yeah, I'm THAT GOOD."

I doubt you, that's all.

If you just want a bigger bike then get one.

It isn't the best way to get yourself going faster though - unless straight lines are your thing

Rider training, and experience are the things you (everyone) require.

Don't expect people to when you've been riding for 6 months - if you were that good you'd be racing already.

There are a lot of experienced guys (and girls?) here - it is worth listening to the advice (this is easy spot irrelevant of the piss taking in and around it all).

Ultimately make your own decisions, it's your life. Don't end it prematurely though

If you aren't going to like the answers, don't ask the questions

The '07 cbr600rr is one of the greatest, most rewarding sportbikes of all time, ESP in the twisties or on the track. Read the current Sport Rider mag to see how well it fared vs the 1098S and gixxer thou. It would be VERY easy to trade "up" to a lesser bike.

This is some of the simplest and best advice in ANYTHING you wish to master in life. Training and experience are key to refining your craft...whatever the craft is!
