Speed may not be necessary but torque is where the fun is
Try rolling on a 250 from 1500rpm....shudder, fart, shudder, fart, shudder

LOOK.. ZOMBIES!
my SMALLEST bike is 1000cc...
i do alright
Best Frenemy you could have!
I had a 998cc, it was too much for the roads, cost me my license...
I traded up and got 999cc, and its just right, best bike ever

I enjoy my 1100cc because of its roll on power at 100kph.
No need to change down when over taking
No need to change down when climbing hills
No need to change down for the twistys
in fact once in top gear at 50kph, I rearly change gear at all!
the power of the XS1100 in line four is so usable.
Yet its legs run out around 240kph.....I think.
I guess its how you use the power, not how you abuse it
To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.

Just a couple of tester's comments on the brand new '09 Gixxer thou.
It does 215 in second, at 260 you're in fourth and it is still accelerating like a mad thing with two gears to go. Changing into fourth does not result in the front wheel returning to tarmac it keeps it up in the air...
It intimidated these experienced testers on the racetrack until they caught up to it and realised it handled better and was more predictable.
On Willow Springs raceway, they couldn't reach peak revs in fifth let alone sixth, it was too fast.
"The sheer ferocity with which it melts the pavement under the rear tire is mind-numbing. Distance is dissipated at the speed of light..."
Power wasn't posted but the word "adequate" comes to mind...
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

Fuck that, no thanks
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
BAD DOG!!
I went from SV1000 to NSR250, I would definitly be faster over any given stretch of road on the SV - but the satisfaction of passing people on the NSR (and melting pistons) is much better. I will probably go back up into the litrebike category eventually though, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!
