Agreed. Too bad really. I am a Yamaha guy through and through but I always liked all of the SuperSport series class (Yam, Suz, Kawi, Honda). I did glance over at the YZF-R1. Incredible off the showroom floor technology but I can't convince myself I need a liter bike here. The 600 class is really a nice balance. But my R3 just sits right now.
