Default Moving from a 600cc to a 1000cc

I've had my 600f4i for about two years and put a considerable amount of miles on it. Lately it just feels like i'm out growing my bike and want to step up to a bigger bike. How was the transaition for you folks out there?

I went from a 600cc i4 to a 1000cc twin, but the jump in powr was huge. The Vtwin has a lot more grunt down low, and it's easy to stick the rear end out with too much throttle.

Try a trackday with your 600 before jumping to a 1000. You may enjoy it more.

Its pretty nice on the streets since you dont have to rev the hell out of your bike to get some power. It still is a huge jump in power and you can step the rear out pretty easy on turns.
