I couldn't come to sell my car for a bike that my Civic would literally blow the wheels off of, but I'm not out there to get myself killed either. I consider myself a responsible defensive driver as I haven't been in an accident since I was 15. Why is it so hard for one to learn on a used 600rr, a bike I would actually want to own? A friend in the cube across from me at work went from dirt bikes to an '02 Yamaha R1 and he hasn't dropped it yet.

There's more to riding than doing a quick quarter mile bud. And by the way... how much cheddar did you dump into that POS before it became a 13 second car? Forget it, I don't want to know. Really I don't.
You can consider yourself a "responsible" and "defensive" driver all you want but I call
. You didn't dump a couple grand into a Honda to drive defensively. I started drag racing when you were in kindergarten and I know the type especially since I AM the type. Why don't you just stop lying to yourself and everyone here and just be a man and say it, "I want a 600 SS because it hauls ass!".
The reason WHY I say you should just come clean is because as soon as you come to grips with the fact you want to go fast, and (maybe) look cool while doing it, you will realize that you don't need validation on advice from anyone here since you're going to do what you want anyway. That way, everyone's happy.
But, if you TRULY want to be a better rider. You should follow the logical, "responsible" method of developing your skills on a smaller bike.
