The reason you upgraded is pretty much the exact same reason i'd upgrade. I posted cause there has been a bunch of previous threads about wanting "more" without and real rhyme or reason. Just thought i'd share my thoughts.Not all upgrades are about "more power" at all. Saying that is stereotyping as well as being a personal opinion.
I've explained my upgrade many times in three forums to those who asked.
But, having the extra power has been a joy, especially when the bike is loaded down with either myself and a pillion or a full set of luggage and I am powering through the hills.
It's personal choice and people upgrade for many more reasons than the simple fact a bike offers more power. Anyone who upgrades for "more power" is either inexperienced or narrow minded IMHO.
I read the same thread on a 250R forum the other day... I bet a great rider on his 250R will be faster in a twisty road compared to most of us on this forum here... that doesn't mean all of us should "downgrade" to a 250R...
Getting the next best thing is just part of human nature... now if you think there's nothing better than the FZ6 out there, well then that's a different story
for sure. I posted this back in the day, a story my rider training instructor told me. But it's been awhile so i'll say it again.
my instructor a semi pro and is friends with a bunch of racers and good friends with reg and jason pridmore. anyways one track day they were having dinner after and this guy goes to my instructor and says "i think ive mastered the 600. I wanna get a 1000" my instructor goes on to say, "hey jason, this guy says he's mastered the 600" in reply jason pridmore says " mastered it hey, you mind teaching me a few things?"
