Something wistful and amusing, yet poignant.

Gorgeous bike but what do you do with it?  It's not street legal and would get smoked by any modern 600 on a track.  That said, I'd love to own it.  :thumb:

I'd take it down to Moroso for track day and see how many 600s I could put in the weeds with it.

Its actually as least as quick as a current 600 would come down to the rider and depend on the individual track. The current crop of 600cc bikes development has stagnated over the last 5 or so years.

I kind of meant same rider on a same track.  There's no way that will be faster than say an R6.  I'm not bashing it just saying It's not a track bike.  The wheelbase is too long.

Its the same as the RSVR1000 so it is in modern sports bike standards and will out accelerate a 600 off a corner easily. I've pulled back significant distance on R6's at track days, way more than I expected.
