It winds me up having to rev the nuts off the bike to get the power out it as I feel like im not being mechanically sympathetic to it. plus when overtaking on b roads i feel like im never done going up and down the box. i think this problem would be far reduced on the thou as the power would be more available lower down the revs and in higher gears.
thats just a personal thing though, but the 600 is still i cracking bike if you dont mind working the gears.
the 600 loves to be revved when you get it on the boil 12000rpm + they really fly and not much will catch it
on the other hand you can tootle down the shops n back n very comfy
suspension needs work as do all budget bikes but bear in mind it not a race rep its an all rounder n thats what it does very well
everything you need
waters wet, shit stinks !
