Unhappy Moving up from a 600

Hey guys... I purchased a white 07 cbr 600 about 7 months ago and i feel like i have already outgrown my bike... i am now looking to move up...

Note: I HAVE NOT MASTERED IT!!

i just feel its time to move up...
for a while i was thinking about the ZX 14 but then changed my mind... i just want to get a bigger and more confortable bike.

I ve been thinking about the CBR1000, ZX10 and the R1...

I am really indecisive and need some help.. thanks guys

After reading the first run on sentence I cannot help you.

If you can master an 07 cbr I suggest you start racing professionally because you are 1 of less than 1000 in the entire world.

You've mastered it? I'll stomp you with a 350 scooter... master...

I'm going to assume you're endorsed, right?

If you want big and comfort, you're not going to find it on most sport bikes, at least not by my definition of comfort.

If you want big, comfort and still be able to do wheelies, get an R3. I can wheelie mine all day.

I have an 04 gsxr 750 and I love it but, I been looking at the new gsxr 1000 and I love it .. Been trying to sell my bike so I can get it.

My friend has the ZX 14 and loves it.. He said its awesome around turns ..
R1 are a nice looking bike but, the gsxr 1000 always wins if your looking for just speed .. My freinds race all the time and the gixxer wins everytime from a line

With chicken strips like that, I would be embarrassed posting a picture. Nevermind your post itself.

GSXR always wins? You really think so. Do a trackday. Busting through gears in a straight line is hardly what riding is all about. 9 out of 10 a street squid like you will do faster laptimes on a smaller bike.

Take your bike to a tarckday, and see what happens.

If you've mastered your 600, one of the major mfgs. will be happy to give you a bigger bike to race!

what are you talking about? What's chicken strips? Your saying I should be embarrassed posting the pic I have up?

Also I really think so what buddy? A gsxr 1000 and an r1 . All I said is a gsxr will win a race. That's it ! No one never started talking about tracks. It doesn't matter what ridding is about everyone is different . Some people like striate lines some people like scraping there knees so people just like to Stunt. Good for people who do faster times with a smaller cc. I'm not the one who started the post saying he wants a bigger bike. I was just trying to help.

i'm all good with being confident in your abilities and saying that you've outgrown a bike. i think many people will agree that you come to a point where you feel like you can move up to more cc's. but to say that you've MASTERED it is a huge misconception and i hope that it doesn't lead you down the wrong path. i'm sure all those moto GP guys, as skilled as they are, don't hop on their bikes everyday thinking they've mastered ALL aspects of that bike. we've all seen some of the nasty spills that can happen on the track due to minor errors. i just think that "mastered" was not the best word to use for your situation. good luck with your decision and ride safe!
