I love everything about this bike, problem is i just never rode it...and it's a bit out of my price range. Leaning towards the ol' gixxer, Daytona, or CBR.. which ever I can get a good deal on first. Now my hunt begins..
Thinking of selling my 2006 750 and going a different route for street riding.
Something like the Speed Triple would be nice for cruising and 2-upping etc.
Only this time if I make an ad. I will be asking a reasonable price, I just need to find something to replace it with first.
If I was in the market for a new 600 I would probably go with the new 636, absolutely hate the new 600RR and was never a fan of the R6 and there's nothing new about the new GSX-R's so that makes my decision real easy.

There's different kinds of power?.... Interesting...

Ever ridden a twin or triple and compared it to an inline? Yes there's a big difference. I also agree with Mina. The new cbr is hideous.
That's racist
I'd say the ducatis are the most uncomfortable ss.
I test rode a cbr 1000 last week & my legs were cramped.
Go to a few demo rides & see which one floats your boat

In reference to motor vehicles, power is power. It is a standard unit of measurement for the delivery of force used to propel said vehicle.
What you feel is the torque, that twisting motion that makes the wheels go around. Some bikes, like a long stroke, air cooled, L twin Ducati makes lots of torque from low in the rev range hence the expression, “Pulls like a freight train.”
Whereas many in-line fours produce less torque but more horsepower. The trade-off being that you have to keep the fours in their “power band” which is usually high up in the rev range.
Note the differences in these two dyno charts. The first is from a Monster 1100 Evo were the blue line is torque and the red is h.p.
This second chart is from a GSX-R 750.
Bottom line is big torque engines will be more versatile and easier to ride tight, twisty mountain roads like Deals Gap. High revving in-line threes & fours require more work, (lots of gear changes) to negotiate roads like the Gap. What kind of riding you're going to do should factor greatly on what type of bike you buy.

rode it at the demo ride, its nice, didn't even get past 2nd gear...although its only a 5 speed.
What Steven wrote applies to any vehicle. That is why a transport truck has a massive engine but is slow as hell. Loads of torque, no HP. Also why something like a puny 100 HP TDI engine will actually feel stronger than most higher HP vehicles because they have lots more torque low in the rev range. But they will lose power at higher speeds.
Generally, fewer, larger pistons = more torque, less HP (harder to spin those large pistons at high RPM without something breaking/wearing) while fewer, smaller pistons = less torque (at least down low), more HP.
Are you sure about that? You have to do more gear changes on a twin than a 4 (on comparable cc's). For instance a 600 can go to about 90km/h on 1st gear. A twin not so much.
I've never got into the hype of twins, there's nothing below 2000rpm then everything comes on after that. Then it flattens out at around 6000rpm. That to me seems like alot of unusable powerband. To me a 4 has more refined smoother power, more predictable.
Plus a 4 doesn't vibrate as much at idle or high revvs
You obviously need a Triple.
I've never ridden a triple
