Chris-I stopped riding the thou this summer aged 65-I could have carried on but it was awkward to get round my restricted access path to shed whereas I can get the 600 round easy. I wouldn't think of the thou as a sportsbike-it really is docile unless you decide otherwise. Remember the throttle works both ways :eek :lol ! Ride both & get a feel for them. If still unsure why not have a spell on the smaller bike ( its surprisingly agile & will shift when required then you can trade up to a thou or better still keep both!
