Quite frankly,there isn't tangible proof that you should be allowed to ride any bike,much less one more powerful than the one you wrecked doing a wheelie!

Anyway,I'm just saying that if performance doesn't matter and only "squids" like myself buy a bike based on how it performs,then all the rest of you should own 250s...who cares how fast it goes right?
like I said... I looped it from being exhausted... not from squid'n around. and my ZZR600 was an SS in 02 so not sure what the ZZR600 at that comment was about.

and no there is not tangeable proof... like i said... the reason I bought it was BECAUSE I WANTED IT. the fact that I said I knew I could handle it was my justification TO MYSELF... I could care less if you or anyone else thinks I'm able to handle the bike... hence I didn't post up asking anyones opinion when I was in the market.

I still believe I can handle a 600 just fine... I learned the hardway that you can't relax too much and that long trips like that take their toll not only on the body but on the mind. I don't think I'll ever need or want a liter I4. I imagine I could handle one just fine... but I don't care to. they offer nothing I need or want.
