| Case in point, I just got my '86 1100 off the dyno. It makes 124.5 HP on an inertia dyno, and 96.3 HP on the Factory EC997a Eddy. Those numbers are on par with the new STOCK 600s! Granted, my motor is basically stock, but still, that is how far technology has come in almost 20-years. Also weigh in the factor that the new 600s are at least 50 lbs. lighter than mine, and you can start understanding the picture.
The whole "600 is a beginner bike" concept is lost on todays new riders. A 600 GSX-R or Ninja 636 is NOT a beginner's bike. Unless maybe you are talking a Bandit or Katana 600. MAYBE.
