The price point on 600s is confusing. Just buy a S1000RR for a few bills more. Makes no sense.



Cost to manufacture 600cc and 1000cc sportbikes is probably identical. If the market demands the same features on both classes of bikes, retail prices are going to be very close. Both are really fast so pick your poison.

In related news, MV has released full info on the Brutale 675.  I can't wait to hear how it compares to the Street Triple R.

Which is why BMW has said it makes no sense to enter the 600 market.

And don't most of the liter ss bikes have power control now (or what ever you want to call it) to allow you to tool around at 600cc power levels?  I don't know, after owning two 600s and a 1000 I would tend to lean towards the 1000 for the same money. But as mentioned earlier, either is insanely fast. Pic your poison is spot on.  Lol

Yes, a game changer.  What other supersports have all of these rider-aid electronics available?  None.  The Ducati 848 has a TCS/ABS package, but not the rest.  The CBR600RR has optional ABS, but that's it.   The new MV electronics package on this thing is similar to the Aprilia RSV4-R APRC package, which seemed to me to be the game-changer for the superbike class.  This MV will have ride by wire with 4 maps and 8-level traction control as standard.  Optional will be lean sensors, launch control, anti-wheelie, electronic shifter.  


It's more of the same natural evolution to put more shit that you don't need on a motorcycle and sell it for way too much.

Most people won't/won't know how to use it anyway...

The naked version. They are as much fun to ride as they are to look at.
