Should I buy a 600RR? - 10/9/2008 9:30:04 AM

I''m thinking of selling my Ducati S2R1000 and getting a 600RR. I''m tired of the too sensitive throttle, lumpy fuel delivery but I''m mostly tired of a clutch that I can''t slip when launching in 1st gear. I have to let the clutch all the way out then get on the gas. A real PITA. I expect the 600RR to be smoother and sharper. I''ve never ridden a inline 4. What should I expect? I''ve been riding for 12 years.
Thanks

I have no experience of anything with a Ducati but if you do get a 600rr i promise you 100% satisfaction.

ducatis are amazing but unless you like the feel of that dry clutch your not going to enjoy it. the rr is smooth as sh!t but the throttle is also sensitive as sh!t. your looking at very very responsive throttle, you just have to learn to use it right i guess, or just use the clutch to even it out.. which i guess your saying you cant do with the dry clutch.

swap it up, you ll love it

Ehhh, trading a Ducati for a 600rr. Sounds a little crazy to me. I mean I love the 600RR, but I think a ton of people here would love to have a Ducati

I would give my RR up for an 848 in a heartbeat.

Yeah, that 848 is sexy. But they''re not stupid fast.
