Even pros have to work hard to push the limits of a 600, so how can most people you see around town outride these pros to the point that they "need" a literbike?

Don't believe me, go to a track day. Nothing is better than watching guys on literbikes getting passed over and over by guys on "little" bikes.
I agree with you. The manufacturers also know what they're doing. I wish Yamaha would make the R6 (or at least the R6s) look like the R1. I have a thing for aesthetics. I like to look good even if I'm going 15mph.

as much as I like the CBR600RR, with the underseat exhaust, it's still missing that something that the R1 has. The CBR has the brake light angled in, and then the exhaust sticks out again, that bothers the hell out of me!
