[@patrickcallahan2885]

The main reason for having a 1000 versus the 600 is more down low torque. On the 600 you need to wring them out to get into the meat of the power, with the 1000, they pull from right off the bottom. Don’t get me wrong, i have owned a 600, and now i ride a 1000. After owning both, i enjoy having more grunt. Either will comfortably run at 80 all day long, but the liter bike will do it at a lower rpm. As for the weight difference, the added weight of the 1000 is actually more comfortable on the highway, the nimbleness of the 600 is a bit better in the twisties. Just my own observations from having had both.

[@dancarlos1216]

Patrick Callahan I prefer the opposite, it’s more fun being able to use more of the 600 more of the time. But power wheelies are pretty awesome!

[@Greywolf-mv1hx]

Spot on

[@patrickcallahan2885]

Rata 4U, lol, I think that might be a bit of hyperbole, but it also brings up a good point! The reason so many of us older (or should I say more seasoned riders) suggest starting out on smaller displacement machines, is so that you develop the skills for riding before graduating to a more powerful bike. The only time you really experience that kind of throttle response you described is with these new RBW systems, and that seems to be true of so many of them (MT 09, GSX-S 1000) but it’s something you get used to.

[@patrickcallahan2885]

Except it’s no longer made, hopefully they will create the new 765 Daytona that Moto 2 will get!

[@john198706]

The low down torque is amazing to have in the city or even on the highway for a quick burst of speed in 6th gear at 4500rpm to get around traffic. Another great advantage of a 1k is the taller gearing for less frequent gear changes. My 2015 ZX10R hits 105mph in 1st so if you truly wanted to you never have to hit 2nd anywhere but at 70mph in 6th on the highway I'm at 5k rpm and getting 47mpg. As to the more nimble lightweight argument the ZX comes in at 434lbs with the Brock's exhaust and cat delete so on average only 15-20lbs more than the 600cc class and at that difference you can't even tell it's there. By far the best thing about new super bikes are the electronics. Even in 1st gear at 7k snapping the throttle back my bike won't wheelie or spin the rear in the rain. Litre bikes aren't the untamable monsters they used to be ten years ago.

[@jeffk1485]

I'm an old man, so consider the source: I've been riding over 35 years and have ridden almost every bike imaginable, since I used to run a repair service. My days of supersports are over because old man bones and supersports don't mix. However, my biggest bike is an 850 (Tracer 900 GT). After a certain point, the power becomes moot. The Yamaha triple gives me the torque rush, and it can double any speed limit in the US (with an ECU flash), so why would I need any more? I found it was WAY more fun to show up on an "old man bike," and run that thing through the twisties as fast or faster than most of the dudes on supersports. Developing the ability to push the machine you have to its limits is much more fun than just "buying speed." To me, anyway.

[@terryallen3550]

Too right mechanical brother. I miss stretching corner speeds out to the limit on my Honda VTR250 to keep up with my bigger road buddys bikes. Or the squating roller coaster feeling the VT750 DC has accelerating out of the corners. Bike specific qualities that I've only felt on the smaller bikes. Thanks for your moto service brother :-)

[@njminer]

I absolutely agree. I love the triple engines for their balance of power and torque. After going to a R1200ST because I was doing a lot of long distance rides, I'm looking to get a MT-09 to fit a broader spectrum. Maybe I'm just too old to be able to react to a pothole at triple digit speeds : ) Of course if you want to be realistic, very few people can.

[@Tdriver1205]

Fellow Old Man (48) agrees.. I had a Ducati 748 with about 105hp... The most fun ive ever had on a bike.. Just enough power to have fun with, but not so much you want to shit your pants...

[@michaelmuller5762]

I like your point of view! Wish one day I can say that about myself. currently I am riding a Suzuki xf 650 and even it does not have lots of power by modern motorcycle standards, it is still very very powerful compared to how much power I have as a physical human beeing. When I ride it, I feel like a superhero that can go anywhere. I love my bike.

[@HeroRR]

Yes. I was wondering when that would come up. I wasn't saying all 600's are useless, just there's not much of a point in buying one brand new. When for an extra $2,000 you can get a liter bike that has all the technology, holds it's value better, and has additional power. Since I already own a 600 (which I bought used) I don't see a point in "upgrading" there's really no reason to. The extra power isn't needed and i'd rather hold onto my money and maybe buy something else like another dirt bike or a jetski (lol). If I were buying new though, a 1000 would be my choice, maybe a 750.

[@JustApasser-by]

Couldn't run from the inevitable, could you?

[@vtxgenie1]

600 vs 1000 is purely preference to the rider when it comes to street riding, neither are beginner or intermediate bikes on street or track. Both are typically within 30lbs of each other and with top speeds within 20 mph of each other. Throttle control and features are so similar as to be the same, and can be modified. I ride 1000s because after test riding many of both I liked the feel of it better, I like the power and typically gear them lower with faster throttles simply because I like knife edge responses, even when touring which I do with it as well. At legal speeds both can be modified to ride almost the same, so again, it's all preference for a rider that can handle either one.

[@cantwheelie_rob]

I’m with ya! I moved down to a 600 from a 1k. It’s just more fun. You can twist the throttle with a more confidence and still feel in control. On the 1k I found my self holding back and a little scary at times. Too much bike for my style of riding.

[@noelgillett346]

Two bikes are better than one, both practically and psychologically. Practically speaking, these bikes do need maintenance, sometimes unexpectedly. And if you don't own a car, then the two bike option keeps you on the road and for not much added cost. That's a big psychological boost as one has no worry ever of losing one's ability to travel. The 1000 vs the 600 cc game is a big-beef vs practically issue to be sure. Again, from the experiential point of view, I find that the back and forth experience of two different machines helps keep the experience of riding fresh rather than routine. You've already got a dirt bike, so you probably get that already. Either way, it's the contrast between two or more bikes that makes the psychological game of the thrill work best for me. In my case, I picked up an old FZ01 '02 with low mileage for cheap, and that too is a factor. The new bikes with the high tech replace the old bikes with the old tech, giving rise to great opportunities for excellent bargains in the used market and thereby a chance always to have two rides instead of one without breaking the bank. Glad that you've got your head on your shoulders. As with motorcyclists so too with airplane pilots, wherein the same saying of old applies to both groups--"there are bold pilots. And there are old pilots. But there are no old AND bold pilots". But as with all truisms that are at the same time cliches, "variety is the spice of life" as well. So by all means keep an open mind on the 1000 cc option...or not. There's a bizarre kind of thrill to the feeling of that kind of power coming on down low in the context of a sturdier and slightly heavier footprint. It just feels awesome by contrast to the 600, and visa versa. Don't how to explain that fact. It's the charm of the Hayabusa, in the extreme end of the game. Better than smoking crack, though just as risky, I thank for you post and wish you the best.

[@fearme46]

Just bought my first 1000, went from a street triple to an R1. I do miss how the bike flicked from side to side, but as a slightly bigger guy, 6ft2, 95kgs, I don’t really feel the extra weight that much, That power though, can’t use half of it on the street, but I’m glad I’ve got it👌🏽

[@TubeSocksMalone]

As much as I love my CBR600RR and agree with pretty much everything stated. I grab they keys to my RSV4 RF every time. Just as nimble in the twisties, top notch handling and ten times the bike from brakes to suspension. People say oh 600’s are so nimble. So are the brand new litre bikes. Those Aprilias have outstanding control in the twisties and power to back it up. My CBR 600RR looks slightly bigger than my RSV4 too when next to each other and it’s actually thinner than my 600RR. Long story short. Get the bike you want.

[@cwhitty05]

Yep, I totally agree. My RSV4 is a lot more nimble than my R6 was. The turn-in takes a lot less effort, and it steers faster.

[@Sanisani9]

I have 09 cbr600rr, ridden lots of frends 1000 cc bikes, and 600 can't even compare. Litre bikes are whole new level, especially new ones. That's why they don't even make 600 cc anymore, except maybe couple of brands.

[@deathwish8339]

The main benefits of the 1000 for me is it's low / mid range torque, it's nice to be able to quickly overtake traffic when you're cruising at 80mph and the engine isn't screaming on the highway, but more so the practical benefits of better luggage options, etc..

Honesty, the new fireblade feels just a nimble, and it somehow manages to feel smaller than the 600RR. Plus, with all the technology like slipper clutch, quickshifter, ABS, traction control, power modes, wheelie control, the IMU etc..... it’s easier to ride than the 600, and it just makes sense for both joy rides and commuting. I ride my blade the same as I did my 600, but ironically I’ve been in a lot more hairy situations with the 600.

I want a 1000 because I want to pull effortlessly wheelies. A 1000 takes less effort to go fast on and is more thrilling to ride. But I don't need one.

[@venturerempathetic]

Had a 17 s1000rr I let go because my commute was about 75% of my ownership. I took it to the track once and spent all day in 3rd and I felt like I was wasting the bike,maintenance,tires and risk. Not to mention paying $190 a month to commute is pretty dumb. Coming from a 650 I enjoyed working for my horsepower and keeping up with my friends. I learned to grind pegs on the 650 on the street. Still,the perimeters for learning a 1000cc let alone these hyper bikes is staggering. As a person who loves to work for my horsepower I’d rather have a 300 when I’m not trying to be egotist. To this day my dream bike is still a 600rr and I could afford more,but why. 600s are reliable platform,light,nimble, and proven similar to a Toyota Corollas using the same engine with minor changes and different bodies throughout development. Continuing,most of all I love to work for my horsepower and have a reason to flick through the gearbox. I love to build torque and use all my engines powerband. I love when people underestimate the bike you rides and you blow there helmets off simply by leaning into a corner carrying nothing but you speed and confidence .

[@karlwalters3763]

My favourite bike is still an RGV 250. You have to work hard to get the best out of it. Too many people point and shoot and have lost or never found the art of cornering. That's where I get my fun:) Ahhh I love the old 2 strokes!

[@Goob707]

I'm only looking at 1000cc's for my next bike since 75% of my riding is done on tracks. My 600 is great and all but it's lacking on straights on the track. Plus the new panigale V4's are just drop dead gorgeous and I can't wait to get mine. If I was mostly a street rider I would have just stuck with my r3 because even that can get illegal quick.

[@HeroRR]

If I didn't already have my 600 then I would consider maybe getting a 1000. But I just see no need to "upgrade". The V4 panigale is something special though ;)

[@chrisredfield3240]

@@asambi69 not many people can ride the wheels off a 600cc not an easy thing to do. I would never even get near 50% there. I would still get a 1000cc over a 600cc i'm done with having to ring the neck to get some power. Almost like 2 strokes these 600's no bad thing i still love a 2 stroke but they have there place

[@jjmoto65]

During my club racing days I have fond memories of riding around larger displacement bikes during open practice sessions. They were faster down the straights but I would be able to break much later and ride around the outside of them carrying way more cornering speed. Cornering Speed > straight line speed. Anyone can twist a throttle in a straight line. JMHO

[@JuhoFTC]

I've got the new CBR1000RR and it really is nimble and light. I agree it's almost impossible to use all the power in the streets. At limiter on 1st gear speedo is at 160km/h or 100mph. But I didn't even consider 600 because of the low end torque. 1000cc torque makes riding on the street so much more effortless. No need to switch gears to get throttle response. I also ride some times with a passenger and the difference becomes even greater. Like your channel!

[@critter1171]

That's good to hear, I'm wanting up upgrade soon and still deciding on the honda fireblade, I've heard 1000cc's arent as nimble as the 600cc

[@critter1171]

@Ryan Snyder Yeah I unded up getting a 19 Honda Fireblade, definitely lighter than I expected and the power is more than enough. The 1000cc's today are absolute weapons and I can't believe theyre trying to make more power (200hp+)

[@-smp-scientificmethodpersp838]

I upgraded to a 750, and then I realized a 1000 would just be non sense. Who cares about going on a strait line fast. If I wanted that, I'd do it in the comfort of a car. Bikes are supposed to be about having fun, and leaning it over is one of the most fun parts. Why sacrifice that for a more powerful and heavier engine? It's like a v8 mustang compared to a 4 cyl Subaru. The feeling is like flying a Jumbo jet as compared to a fighter jet. Different strokes for different folks.

[@JD1459]

I'm 59 and this past Jan I bought a brand new 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 left over inventory from a local dealer for $10K & change out the door including taxes. I am enjoying the new Ninja 1000 "sport tourer". However you are right, I will never use all of the performance of the Ninja 1000, and I bought this bike because it is a Kawasaki and it has built in high tech into the Ninja. Traction control, power modes, IMU, Kawasaki cornering management function, and ABS. It has everything I need, and it is a very comfortable reliable bike.

[@michaelschuler7397]

Nice grab you got a great price.

[@nothinbeats2wheels]

I've owned 600's and 1000"s. Theres pros and cons to both. The thing is that 600s just aren't that exciting to ride unless you're above 10,000 rpm. Crack the throttle at 10000 on a 600 and it still doesnt compare to doing the same on a 1000 at half the rpm. They're completely different experiences. My friend had a Ducati 848 that I could beat every time with my 600 at the dragstrip but if i got to choose which bike to ride on the street i would pick the 848 because it FEELS faster even though it's not. Torque changes the whole riding experience. If we were on a track i would choose my 600 over the 848 but on the street having that torque there all the time means more. You dont have to hit ridiculous speeds to feel like you're where the bike wants to be. It's just more fun not having to rev the shit out of your bike. And the weight difference between 1000 and 600 isnt enough to make much of a difference. Theres little bikes that weigh less than 600s. Still it's all personal preference. If you enjoy shifting alot and feeling like you're making the bike work more then 600 is for you. If you want a bike that feels like it will lift the front wheel on command or like short shifting then get a 1000. Both are great bikes just different riding experiences. 600s near redline sound better too. (Same engine config)

[@bigdee140]

honestly Hero, I can tell you just love your 600 so much you really dont seem to even care why a 1000 could be better, which being a shorter guy, at least in comparison to me (6'2) i dont think its necessary for you to get a 1k other than just to have it because they are AWESOME, 600's already have sooo much hp for a street bike its crazy at least as far as power to weight, but for me to have a 1k, it would be to have a slightly larger bike for comfort (id never need all of the power and speed it has to offer) and the low end torque. id love to get an sp2 rc51 like you ended up getting. right now i dont have a bike but when i did in '13 i had an '03 cbr 600rr and it was PERFECT! but now that im older i have more appreciation for the older bikes and torque numbers are more important to me personally. love your channel, keep up the good work!

[@HeroRR]

Thanks Dave, people who bring up comfort of a liter bike always have me wondering why don't they just get a naked bike like the fz09? Tons of low down torque and way more comfort. Either way, for me a 600 is more than enough for the street which is why I don't need an inline 4 1000cc superbike. I've ridden them and they're absolutely insane... even compared to my RC51... the RC has torque but it doesn't have that insane pull your arms off power that an inline 4 superbike does.

[@Bass.Player]

I like as much torque as I can get. I have had over 75 motorcycles and rode Busa's and Zx14's until I was 58 years old, I also had a B-King that I wish I still had. Now I have to listen to old farts like me talk about how well their cruiser handles and stops, they have no idea how well a motorcycle can truly handle. When I moved to cruiser types of MC's I felt insecure for a long time knowing it in no way handled like what I was used to... I ride a Valkyrie, 100HP and 100 foot lbs. of torque and it feels slow to me, but it is comfortable.

[@patrickcallahan2885]

Bass Player, I’m like you, I’m 63 and I still ride my 1000cc Street Fighter. I just can’t warm up to the cruisers after riding sport bikes and dirt bikes all my life.

[@PantsuGod]

Meanwhile some of those old farts keep up with 600 sport bikes, and litre bikes too. My step-father told me a story about the time he rode with a bunch of goldwings with his litre ninja, the goldwings were constantly at 200kmh and he couldn't keep up with them because they were just that much better at driving. There's definitely a difference in handling between a cruiser and supersport, but as the saying goes: "The rider makes all the difference, not the bike." or something along the lines of that.

[@Bass.Player]

If they do the 600 rider is a noob, I had a gold wing and they do not have the lean angle. None of those cruisers do, otherwise we would see them in MotoGp

[@betahours9416]

It's one thing if you think 1000cc motorcycles have too much power. That is OK. But you also say that you believe that the suspension feels better on the 600cc because of the weight reduction...?? I think what +HeroRR means to say in this m-vlog is; HeroRR rides a 600cc because it's easier than riding a 1000cc(and cheaper)... I can kinda agree a 1000cc can be a lot for the streets power wise...But the 600rr only weighs like 20 lbs lighter than the 1000cc. You will not notice 20 lbs when street riding. On a track sure. So weight wise you should not have not argument... also most 1000cc's will not make the power that production factory claims. The 2013 Honda CBR1000rr only makes maybe 150hp stock, with an intake, exhaust, race fuel, tune, and meticulous replacement of those mods when the parts expire; then maybe you will have a motorcycle that is constantly pushing 170 horsepower. Just sayin! The horsepower argument is just absurd anyways because plenty of vehicles out there are making 5-8 times the amount of horsepower your bike has in public streets! Some of which will do over 200 mphs easily. where as Most, if not all, liter bikes will not do 200 mphs off the show room floor. does that make high horsepower illegal instantly because its fast? Heck no! Tbh to compare a 600 to a 1000 is like comparing a walmart training wheels bike to a fully custom mountain bike!?!?!

[@HeroRR]

I never said the 600 has better suspension. I just like the handling characteristic more. A 600 dives into corners fast and I like that. Also my 600 only weighs 400 lbs, The only 1000 that comes close to that (that is an inline 4) is the brand new cbr1000rr which I talk about later on in the video.

There’s many different reasons why a person would want to own a 1000. I own one because it’s a beautifully designed machine, it’s excess for the sake of excess. You don’t NEED to have a 1000 but it’s nice to have it, to appreciate the engineering, to appreciate all the power and handling you can get out of it.

[@jackdaniel1848]

Insurance on my '09 R1 is cheaper than the insurance on my '13 636. Might be due to the 636 being newer though.

[@vtxgenie1]

Liability insurance is supposed to only be based on the rider/driver, but insurance companies do lie about that... Engine size sometimes matters but it seems the truth is either the vehicle purpose as designed, such as racing, touring, commuter, cruiser, or possibly based on statistics of the previous similar models. This did surprise the reps at several of the major insurance companies, as they also thought liability was only tied to driver experience/history. In my 30s my 1000 is about $130/yr and my 1400 is $80/yr. My last 1800 cruiser was $200 in my 20s and would probably be $50/yr now. Basically it's all a scam lol... Full coverage on a 600 or a 1000 is enough to purchase the bike again in 3 years typically, an amount that allows insurance companies to make money even if they pay out a totaled bike claim

I had a few others and rode until I came across too many accidents involving bikes. 2004 - I grabbed a 750 Kz twin. She did the ton. I had a drive on a Katana 900, first was 40 mph - second was 75, and I was on a street in town. I never wanted more bike, the 750 was way more comfortable and nimble on the road. Under 400 #. It was as reliable as any new bike, and it was an 82. I sold for what I paid for it, and still have a smile when I hear a throtty bark, of a twin.
