No, not which should a newbie get, although I admit that probably played a part in my thought here.
I've ridden old liter bikes that were slow as hell.
I've ridden newer 600s that were MUCH faster.'
Is there a chart, or do any of you have an offhand idea, hp/weight/displacement crosses? It could be as simple as "anything 600cc 2003 or newer will smoke an early 90s/late 80s 1000" or I could need to pull specs on every bike to get an idea.
