    this has to be one of the best 600cc bikes ever. I've even seen people putting it up against bigger bikes in comparisons. The only thing is I think it could handle a little better, but Over all it's a great bike...with plenty of power.

    I just picked one up 2 weeks ago... This is my first bike and I am so glad I bought this over the Ninja 250... I was a little worried about learning to ride on a 600cc, but as long as you respect the power this bike has you will be fine... Ear to ear smile every time I ride it...
