Then you'll be screaming if there's anything left of your face. Most 600's are way more bike than 90% of sportbike riders can handle. Honestly, if I had to do it all over again from this point on, I'd be saving up for an 03 CBR600RR instead of my RC51. The 51 is an awesome bike, but it's just too much for me. Too many mods, too much money, too much hp, too much weight. I'd be crying if I dropped it at a track day. That having been said, I'll never let go of her. I'm planning on picking up a wrecked CBR600RR next year as a track bike. Hope it's not yours. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

nismo270r - Rocks in the face don't bother me because I wear a helmet. I did get a bug in there once when I had my visor up at a stoplight. That sucked.

onebadm5 - I hope you know that you've posted pics of 2 different bikes. I've ALWAYS wanted an RS250, but the Haga is a nice scheme for the Mille R. The Mille SP is unobtanium, but bad to the bone. The new Mille's will be copying it's short-stroke design for more oomph.

DrDubbleB - I look through my windscreen all the time. How else are you going to pick up your braking markers while in a tuck? Then again I'm pretty short so I can actually see out of the stocker. You might want to try the HRC screen or something similar on your new 51 if you're a bit taller. On the street I'm kinda 50/50. Sometimes look over the screen, sometimes through.
