once you got the clutch out, all you gotta do is lean forward, wack the throttle open, and quickshift up the box,

voila.

Ah but the build quality on a HONDA is far better than that on any SUZOOKI

You sure you've owned lots of different bikes?
yep lots! if 0-60 on an sv is about 4secs and a on a il4 its 3.5secs then reaction time means alot.

most il4 ss600 bikes dont really get into their peak power until about 50-60 mph, after that, they shoot off into the distance

must admit my cbr and zzr did pull very well, more so the zzr but it was rubbish in the twisty's, the kwak 600 engine reminded me of a turbine that just pulled and pulled!! it was the only bike i never felt the stop on the throttle grip.

Nah, it just comes down to what amuses you. I testrode a CBR600RR, and it was too good, it made me feel incompetent. Corners that feel fast and demanding on the SV just skim past... The SV screams SLOW DOWN but you carry on... The CBR just yawns, because it's better that you.

my CBR600F has enough storage space to store a small workshop

my CBR600F has a steering damper that it doesnt need.

my CBR600F has adjustable suspension.

my CBR600F is yellow, the fastest colour known to mankind.

my CBR600F can let me ride it all day solid without making me ache

my CBR600F has a METAL tank, allowing me to use a tankbag


im not bitter really

I test rode one back to back against the Triumph daytona 650 and the Suzuki GSXR 600. The Honda just left me yawning. I have to agree with Scoobs, and lets be honest none of us like doing that , a really well built, capable bike but does seems to lack any real character.

and naturally you would know how i riode it!
its my opinion! so it feking counts as far as im concerned!
it is a dull bike! nothing special or particularly fun or exiting about it!
yes its fast! yes it handles! but id rather have a fun challenging bike that requires skill and concentration rather than a bike that will yawn at the sight of a race track let alone a public road!
