Well the 09 Kawi 600 has them so you would expect the big bro to get them as well. Still I don't know if I am going to notice the diff between the BPF, a good OEM unit, or a reworked drop in Ohlins or other aftermarket unit...I can definitely tell the diff between a factory non adjustable and say, a RaceTech front end, but once you get to these liter bikes and their DLC non stichtion coated uber adjustables I don't know if I am going to benefit...

As far as why do I have both....well initially I was thinking 600 for the tight twisties and track and the R1 for everyday riding. However that changed when my wife took the MSF course and started riding...she actually owns the R6 now.

So that R1 is scarlet and black right? When you opt for that duc... im all over that baby! haha

But isnt it usually the other way around? 600 for street, 1000 for track???

Thats what ive heard. You actually thinking about getting one Dave? Or are you going to wait offf to see what the 2010 re-de brings? Maybe BPF and some better looking fairings? We can only hope???

im actually in the minority of people that love how they look now. They had some silly deals on 08s at the local dealer but the possibility of bpf next year and rickey gadson closing shop (gotta find another good tuner now

) made me decide to wait. Gonna get my blade payed off and tweak it some more

Is the BPF worth that much to you that you'd skip good discounts? I mean unless you are a hardcore track guy....

Oh haven't you met Dave? He won't put H.I.D. head lights on his bike because he's concerned about the added weight!

Yes scarlet and black but I won't be doing any new bike shopping anytime soon...according to the wife.

The 600 is easier to flick around on the track...the R1 is easier on the street because I don't have to downshift everytime or at least as often when I want to speed up.

You have to wind the R6 up above 12k to really get the power...but once above 10k or so it wakes right up.
