I bought a 620 after I passed my test and it was a great first bike however I did feel it lacked a bit of poke and quite quickly began to loose respect for it and started "over riding it" which can lead to some dodgy moments. I started looking for a S2R 800 second hand but ended up with a S2R 1000 just because it was a great deal and they took my 620 Part Ex, that was the best move I ever made, I still have total respect for the power and ride far more carefully because of it. it feels great on the road, suspension far better and I feel more relaxed riding it. I should have just gone for the S2R 1000 straight away.
