Gnt now that youve owned both give us the skinny on the pros and cons between the 954 and the 600. I remember what meetstick said I was just wanting your oppinion.:coolgleamA:

I know I am not Gnt but... I do own the 600RR, 1000RR and had the 954.

And my 2 cents really depends on your riding style.

I loved the 54 but when I moved to the 1k I realized how twicky the 54 really was. I also realized while I rode it fast it's not an "easy" bike to ride fast. (in comparison)

Then the 1k made you feel like you were doing what you wanted! made you confident. After that for about a year I decided to pick up the 6 as a mess around toy. And realized how much fun a 6 really can be to ride :D

While the power is obvious INSTANTLY!!! You have your fun in other ways. Every single movement you can use to control the bike, thats a lot of fun.

Putting the Ego aside and consider the riding style the 6 I think is just as much fun as the 54 but not quite as much as the 1k.

that about sums it up from what I can remember.
Almost miss the twitchiness of the 954 with being on the 6er now though the 6er is nothing short of a wicked lil ride after a few tweaks.

the 600 to me is a mini 1krr and the 954 stands alone.
