Re: the better buy

Ooh a debate. Yeah, 750 has low torque for the street compared to liter, but still it's more than 636, and helluva more than the 600s. I am going to guess keeping the bike in 2nd or 3rd all day long has good enough midrange for the 750, as oppose to 600 where you have to tap dance gearbox all day long.

Also I have heard that above 9000 rpm at the track, the 750s (post 2000+) then behave like a literbike, tons of power and rear can step out easily. I believe it was overall faster than 929 when it came out, and matched the R1 as far as top end dragging went.

All sportbikes these days are made for track anyway.
