Hey gang,

After attending IMS to help me decide between the 500R and the 600RR, I decided to pick up a 2011 600RR, new out of the shipping crate, red & black. Got a sweet deal on it so I couldn't pass it up.

It was tough parting with my 250, but I'm not a 2-bike guy, at least not yet. I had some awesome times on that bike and I hope it ends up in a really good place.

Thanks for all the knowledge & discussions. I'll keep my account open here and stop by now & then.

Take care!

Not the bike I would pick for commuting, I'd prefer the 250.. but you'll get a kick out of the power.

Much of "comfort" though is subjective

Taste is subjective, Comfort is objective.

I've also found that riding posture makes a huge difference, even on the 250. Riders that hunch and put extra weight on their wrists will be uncomfortable on almost anything other than a living-room-on-wheels cruiser.

The effects of posture on comfort is small compared to ergonomics of the bike. There is only so much you can do by adjusting your butt and back. I've yet to hear of a rider who does not find up right ergonmics more comfortable across the board.
