How slow is too slow for a bike?

Ah, ok. Understood. Thanks. Now that pub sounds like a damn fine idea.

...other than your go at newbees, old riders and chicks. ..... by going on at everyone that doesn't fit into your style of riding.

No one was having a go at them at all - you're rather sensitive about this whole subject
Over the years I have noticed a lot more big sports bikes being ridden at sub fully loaded diesel van speeds, just suggesting that this may have something to do with more chicks, and new riders, and born again riders going out and being able to purchase these kinds of bikes - they're obviously looking for the image or something, rather than practicality? Not saying they are not allowed too, it's just not a sensible thing to do.

How do you know by coming up behind some one that the bike is above there ability?

Bloody hell - if ya can't work that one out! Something about not being able to take a perfectly good 55k bend at 55k, or watching them hit brakes mid corner and get all out of shape.............

As for your question, I ride a gsxr750, no way have I got the ability of rossi, nor do I ride it to the full. I got and ride it becuse i wanted to and its as simple as that.

Good on you - I've never followed or ridden with you, but if I saw someone on a GSXR750 and they were putting them selves at risk with how they rode, and holding up traffic because they couldn't maintain open road speeds, then I would say they should think about buying a bike more suitable for their ability.
