Thanks for all the recommendations, advice and the concernI don't plan on getting a faster bike just yet, but probably will next year.
I've only had the 650R for a few months, but I've already put 4000KM+ on itSo I love the bike and riding. I feel totally comfortable on it.
Here are my reasons for wanting a 1K bike:
- 2upping. The wife and I do it a fair amount and plan on doing it A LOT more in the future that added weight can slow the 650.
- Gearing. Having to switch gears so darn much. Especially 1st having to gear-up at 70KM and that's pushing it.
- Speed. Keeping up with my 1K budsI'm not a speed demon, but when we push it from time to time it's nice to at least keep up. It's also nice if you need to pass in a hurry.
- Track. I'd like to get in to track at some point in the near future as well.
- And the fact I'd have a 1K bike would make me sleep better. LOL
you could get a Monster 1100. it won't be surcharged with Jevco. i'm with them on a Monster 696
2upping is very comfortable on the full sized passenger seat. tons of torque
other good recommendations were street/speed triple and b-king
