To ride any of them to their full potential? Absolutely!!!
However, a 600cc sportbike has almost no low and mid range power, it makes it all at 8-9 grand and up, so yes you do have to "get into it" harder for it to really make it's power. My 1098 or any liter+ size modern superbike makes power everywhere so you don't have to work as hard for the power, is there as soon as you twist the throttle.
I think that was the point Tuskin and I were making. Power characteristics of an engine and rider ability of a machine are two cometely different things. And I wholeheartedly agree that to ride any of them to the limit...it's definitely not the bike it's the rider.

If you like the smaller stuff, funny thinking something in the 600 range is small now, try out one of the Triumph 675 triples at their next open house. |

I just went back to the start of the this thread and read all of the posts. You all have some awesome bikes tucked away. Im not to much into the older machines altho I appreciate them for what they are. The 1098 Ducati would be my weapon of choice here if i could choose.
Regards
Grant.  |

Thanks.
It's a 2007 special construction, made in Wisconsin by the Underground Crew(?). It's a tribute bike to Indian Larry, a dead chopper guy. It's got a 1977 Shovelhead motor that was bored out to 1540 cc's and a 6 speed Ultima transmission. It's also got an open primary belt drive, which is shrouded by the chains as seen in the picture. The license plate bracket and rear fender bracket are welded chain link. Indian Larry once built a bike frame out of chain link. I was a little put off by the airbrushed portrait on the tank, but it's actually not too bad. I will ride it as is for now, then change it up maybe this winter. |
