Oh? So this is what 2nd gear feels like!

Initial impressions? It's fun to ride. It is a tooth down in the front which makes a WOT shift to 2nd, very fun ;) It does take more revs to feel some power. The R1 would come into power around 7-8k, the R6 doesn't start to haul until 10k. I'm not confident on it yet because it has a 70 series front and I don't think the suspension has been lowered up front to compensate for the taller tire. The steering does feel sorta slow, compared to the "1". So, anyway. I like this little 600 and I can't wait to get her out on the track. The ergonomics are tighter on the 600 also.



I go outside, later on and take some pics of it.

glad to hear youre back on it JC. Get some pics of it when you can. There is a good article on setting up your front for a 70 series tire. Nothing compared to taking it to GMD, but still a start to get you feeling a little more comfortable.
