FZS600 is one of the most reliable bikes. A Golf II in the motorcycle world - but a fun GTI one!
A mate has 1000 and it is a heavy beast to pull in and out of garage - that does it for me. It can ride like an aeroplane, but no use to me.
1000 = megalomania in my book. No offence meant to owners. We're all different.
It is funny how different we are, some people stick on 500cc twins all their lives, others jump straight onto bigger bikes.
My persnal feeling is that about 140 odd hp is probably about perfect for a street bike. That said, still wouldn't mind owning something with more than that, I just doubt I'd have the skill to get anywhere near pushing its capabilities!
