i recently bought my first bike, a 98 zx7r. I wanted a 600 but a lot of my friends told me i would learn to ride it and want a bigger bike in about a month, and I am glad i listned to them. Remember, a 600 is the smallest weakest sportbike other than the ninja 250's and 500's. the 750 is a good size, but my kawasaki is BIG and heavy. I would agree that the gsxr 750 is a solid bike. katanas, seca's, and the fzr's are pretty lame, you will get laughed at! dont be scared of a big bike, its better to have the power and not use it than than to need it and not have it.

Actually, FZRs and Seca IIs are used a lot as track bikes. They are a lot lighter, and race parts are cheap and readily available. While not as quick as a newer bike, they are definately not slow, and definatley will not be laughed at by knowledgeable riders.
The newer 600s make more power than the 98 ZX7Rs and weighs a lot less. Don't think that 600s are slow. The new R6 is faster than a lot of liter bikes.

BTW - Your ZX7R should be really stable at 140+. Sometimes there is an advantage to the weight. I've ridden them. :-)

If you want a spare motor and/or wheels for your bike, let me know. I think that a friend of mine might still have both in his garage. He sold the bike, but not sure about the extra parts.

if you laugh at someone because of the bike they ride then you are probably one of the guys constantly playing "sweep" in the mountains or playing backmarker on the track . i've watched plenty of guys on SV650's pull quicker times at jennings than half the folks on literbikes (myself included). seen some fast folks on EX500's as well.
