Is 1000cc too much for NZ roads?

The K7 weighs less than your Hobag.

Schwing!

Schwing!

It's also supremely uncomfortable for anything larger than an Oompa-Loompa to sit on for more than about twenty minutes at a time. But I suppose you'll be too busy schwinging to notice that.

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!

Yeh but 2 strokes are so much more fun,to steal a quote from a recent BIKE magazine "Suzuki's GSXR 1000K8 makes 163 bhp per litre.19 years ago,their RGV 250M made 215 bhp per litre.No wonder two strokes have a magic..."

I maybe quicker on my 750 but i get more of a buzz from my RGV.

Anything under 500 is unsafe on the open road. Torque for safe passing.
Ride within your capabilities, trying to keep up with someone who has achieved advanced handling/riding skill is dumb, no matter what the bike.

Theres plenty of 400s out there that get along just fine.

This deja vu of the 250cc vs 450cc "discussions" on off-road forums.

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

That is exactly what crossed my mind when I bought mine, effortless power it is, who said I have to use it all and all the time, plus 300 top speed and 10 sec on a drag strip are very pleasant bonuses
