[QUOTE]Originally posted by v-town coupe: [QB] keep in mind this is all just my opinion. But being a former bike owner I would not,WOULD NOT ride anything less then a 600cc on these freeways around here. I knwo you are not trying to race or whatever but really your already against odds whn riding an MC as people cannot and WILL not see you so you will need atleast enough umph to get you out of harms way and or keep up with traffic,on ramp merges etc. if you feel a regular 4 cycle 600 like an R6,ninja,gsxr etc is too much for you an SV650 or that type of bike maybe sufficent enough for the type of commuting your planning to do. best way I can describe it is those small bikes are like a 3 cyl geo metro and the 600 would be equivalent to a civic si or better. if something falls in front of you, or there is an accident right in front of you, you will need some SAC to get you out of the way Or to look at it as it will give you the power needed to safely merge onto the freeway etc. you dont want to be that guy trying to merge and 2 miles down the road hes on the shoulder still trying to get in, we've all seen this fella before. go 600. its plenty to do what you need and it wont be as hard as a liter bike to handle. atleast on a 600 once your in 2-3gear on up you can hammer on it without fear of the front coming up on you.
