I will never understand why people still think that the ptwin sports bikes were ever intended as replacements for supersports. The supersports were going to die either way, the manufacturers just filled a gap in the lineup by putting plastic on naked bikes they were already building. Funny, I never saw any of you dorks shitting on the Ninja 650 and SV650S 10 years ago.

@@delusion2987 They would complain. 990cc twin in KTM bikes puts it closer to the 999cc of the liter bikes which are way more powerful. Also, the power delivery is completely different. I think KTM's parallel twins are great, but they are not really a good replacement for an inline 4 for race track duty. A 600cc I4 in terms of peak power will rival or beat that of KTM's 990cc twin for instance. Twins are best on the road, where their increased torque in the low end is noticeable. I ride a KTM Superduke GT which is a VTwin, but has a similar characteristic. Heck my garage bikes are also a Vtwin and a Thumper so I am a fan of torque. But I4's and Twins just play in different parks. A better mix is the triple from Triumph (not the new Euro compliant one, but the older one found in their speed triple and daytona 675).

@mephisto212 3 ай бұрын

I had a 2004 600rr, holy smokes that thing was hard to ride. I loved it, but so high strung I never really learned how to ride it because I learned how to ride on big 1000cc bikes (easy to do in the midwest). Also riding twisties in norcal is going much slower than that bike wants and you just can't smoothly modulate speed in 1st gear all day long. I'd love to ride one again, but probably better to go for the aprilia like he said (for normal street driving).

@@delusion2987they are for a different market, the people who used to buy 600s are all middle aged and buying other things. The twins are a different category all together, probably aimed at 1st time riders. The main reason these haven't sold so well the past 15 years is an aging motorcycle community, there's not much fresh blood to buy these things andits the youth that would want it most.

@@delusion2987 - 90hp isn't bad. Let's be honest anything with around 100hp is already plenty. Some would argue it's overkill even. Seeking more power beyond that point becomes more about wanting something just to have it than any real practical sense for street use.

I bought a 2008 600RR in 2010 and I absolutely loved it. The only problem was it was tiny and I was 6ft/200lbs so I looked kinda goofy and long distance rides were brutal and those high RPMs were music to my ears but it was still fatiguing. The 1000R was so much more comfortable but not near as nimble as the 600. I would consider myself an expert level rider but I would never be able to ride that bike to it's fullest potential.
