^^^^^^ Is THAT why you posted... to "let it die"   ^^^^^^ then i too.. am Letting it die... hahaha
cmon guys... there is a reason they make bigger bikes... its for horsepower.... you burn more fuel at one time, your getting more power. CC's DO matter. personally... I would keep saving money, wait till i have enough money to buy an R1, CBR1000rr or whatever after selling my 600... IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ALL OUT POWER.... if your looking for fun and general "mild manners", go w/ the 600. 600's are a blast to ride

It's not going to happen. I too ride with an R1 all the time. His is a 99 too, and I can't touch him. Especially on the freeway, it's just not happening. Going 100, we kicked it down to third and took off, he was long gone. Front wheel came up and he took off like a bat outta hell. He is jetted/tuned/geared, etc... though, but it doesn't matter.

Guys it's hard to beet pure horseys! From a mechanics POV, a well tuned and modified F4i can keep up with and beat a STOCK 1000cc beast under certain circumstances. But remember, most of anyone with a bike is changing everything from stock to cooler just like a 600. But even if a 600 has enough balls to "take" a R1 for example... 0 to 60 = believeable, 0 to 100 maybe... after 100mph or so, wind resistance becomes a major factor. A 600 just doesn't have the engine capacity. Sure it keeps accellerating, but a 1000 that pushes more torque and hp will force its way through the wind in a manor that a small bike just can't compete with. Sure, you can take any engine and crank more hp out of 'em than believable, but remember, the first 10-25 extra hp is easy and cheap to get. After that, the next 25 gets very expensive and time consuming to achieve. After that the next 5 hp can be devistating to the pocketbook. After that, the next 1-2 hp may cost well or $5,000 to obtain... and so on.
Anyway, so "in town" (0 60) (light to light), and properly modiefied F4i could surprise that pants off of a R1 rider... unless he TOO has a PCIIIUSB, pipe, K&N, 520,...

I'm glad you asked that question... Gives me the opportunity to disagree with everyone. DEPENDS ON THE TERRAIN. I would love to see the average rider keep up with me on a canyon road with my F4i. Sometimes too much power is a hinderance. Unless you consider beating... a straight drag, but in my opinion that isn't what bikes are meant for. All you have to do is get him to the right place with a decent setup.
