Have him take his course and rent a 600 from coloradosportbikerentals.com if he still thinks he's "too much fuckin' man for a girls 600" it only cost him $129 bucks. I can almost guarentee a modern 600 will scare him a little.

^ After he takes his course, I'd be more than happy to let him ride mine

I own an 02 GSXR 600 that is geared and has full exhaust. I just rode a liter bike for the first time a couple of weeks ago out in California. I have to say, the difference in torque was very minimal. Both bikes pull just as hard, just seems like the liter bike had a touchier throttle through the first two gears. I think the 600 has a little bit of an advantage, being that you can start off stock while learning the bike, and if you get bored of the torque, you can always regear it. Plus, its cheaper on insurance. Just my two cents, either way, since he is your friend, all you can do is give him advice, and then support him with whatever decision he makes. Regardless of the size of the bike, we can wreck at any time.
For My Diavan
I felt faster in the corners the first time out on my GSXR 600 than after a couple years on my R-1.
There was an article out where they hooked up heart monitors on different riders with different skill levels and put them on a track, first with a liter bike and then with a 600 with a pipe and power comander. Every rider no matter the skill level had an elevated heart rate while riding the 600 and a lower heart rate while riding the liter bike.
There's no place like home............

if you want you can bring him down to canon and he can run my track bike (600) up and down my street, it pulls quite well.
I say let natural selection do its thing.
ya know what trevor....youre going to find something very heinous in youre paint job
Oh new idea put him on a pedel bike and have him go down horsepower hill and tell him if he can make it to the genral store without using the brakes. Then maybe he can handle a liter bike.
