Hey, No problem with hooking you and Ozzie up. I have talked to hima few times....pretty much a nutcase. As far as displacement and guys go: my bies are as follows I have a 1200cc, a 1000cc, and a 750cc so I pretty much cannot comment on what people would say to me riding a 600cc bike. I have ridden friends 600's and they are amazingly fast up top, but take too long to get there. I raced a buddy of mine on his R6 with my R1 and it was not as I would ahve thought. I was busy trying to keep my front end down...he was pulling (yup he pulled away) until around 120...then I just walked past him.....I backed out at about 170ish....the whole time I hear him via our communicators (went something like "WTF was that, you just passe me like I was standing still") was sweet...
