A super sport class 600 like a GSXR 600 or r6 even has nothing in common with a 250. I would hope you have some experience riding. Guys hear "ohhh it's just a 6, my girlfriend rides those" and get one not knowing it has an 80mph 1st gear. The power is almost the same up to 140 and it it's a very light bike, under 400lbs, so it gives a false sense of security.

I really wouldn't put a traction controlled Camaro in the same class as a motorcycle. With all due respect sir it kinda makes you sound like a sissy. A SS class bike is a under 10 second machine out if the dealership.

Cars are slow.
