Agreed....on a sports 600 the clutch/revs need a bit more minding in traffic, especially first gear work....but at the end of the day i am sure you will agree it is a small price to pay to have gixer/R6/CBR etc. Its not designed for town work...but it can function well enough to be manageable in this capacity and when you get out on the twisties it more than makes up for it
