If you have to have a 750, Honda's VFR750 was rated the best from about 1987 to 1997.

You really think a 600 is slow? REALLY?

Hey welcome to the site bro,

realistically new riders should stay with less than 600cc bikes. More than enough power for beginner.

aka...
Kawi ninja 250/500
Kawi 650
Suzuki SV650
Suzuki GSXR 600
Honda CBR 600

check those out...BUY USED... that way WHEN (not if) you drop it is not as devastating as a new bike!

Good luck bro.

On my 1996 Honda CBR600 F3 with 50,000 miles I ran it to 155mph in 5th gear with it pulling just fine but I let off because I didn't really want to go faster. It was dynoed at 77hp and is running very very rich.

New 600s will eat my bike alive.

So here is 77hp with a 230lb person on it and a bike that probably weighs 50lbs more than new bikes on top of much worse aerodynamics.

In the part with the blinker when I let off it's around 95mph.

I also had a 1994 Yamaha SecaII that I ran to 135mph and it was a joke of a bike.

Trust me. If you ever get bored with the power of the bike go hit some mountains up.
