    Don't trade. Keep yours.

    If you think that the 600 is too slow, then you need to get on the track. The 1000 will just have more torque, which is nice to have, but you will be just fine with the power of a 600.

    This also, i like liter bikes better but not because of being faster. I like the low end power and being able to short shift riding normal. when it comes to speed, i doubt youre able to ride to the full potential of your 600, so there's no reason to get a 1k.

    My sportbike is an f4i..... one of the slowest ones you can buy.... but theyre durable and reliable. On my f4i i consistently out run my friend's 08 GSXR600 anytime we ride hard. I'm not even a good rider, probably below avg..... point is... the difference between a liter bike and a 600 is close enough for the rider to make the difference. When a 600 races a 1000, the better rider wins. This is often the case with any bike. picture below, the red bike outruns the blue bike. How fast the bike itself is doesnt matter, how fast are *YOU*

    This.

    I had my '08 GSXR 600 at the track (1/8th mile) running against all liter bikes... I was being made fun of because my liter gsxr was staying beside/being beat by cbrs and r1s...


    lol.
    Now when I ran a REALLY good rider on a slightly modded newer CBR1000rr, I wanted to sell my bike and go buy a Hayabusa.
