    Agreed, my 1150 is only 85hp but the torque isn't too far off what I had on the ZZR1100 - thats the real world: torque.

    put it this way.

    the average vagina is about 3 inches deep (an index finger will reach the bottom)

    but is a 12 inch cock too much?

    (i wasn't referring to you finn, you've got to be about 2 feet tall)

    Thou too fast ?

    One motorcycle is not enough . you gotta have a selecton of bikes , in many cases a thou is ideal , long road trips are so much easer as gear changing isn't as much of a problem , point & squirt ride the torque. and there is nothing that quite compaires with giving a thou a fistfull of the fun regulatior on the odd occasion ,and laying the occasional black line can be addictive. Having said this a thou can be a bit of a liability at times and a smaller bike can be a lot more fun on tight roads or shingle ( which rooted the paint on a bike of mine , had to have it resprayed as it was down to plastic in places ) So I guess my answer is yes and no .

    I'm sure most bikes are too fast for the road but hey! I just like having the 'raging hulk' power in reserver :P That way I can embarrass ferraris etc.

    Not too fast when ridden at the speed limit...as with any CC rating.
    If you want to twist the wrist you're inviting a higher risk,painfully obvious really innit? Pretty obvious that it doesn't matter what sized bike you're riding too.

    As far as commuting in town on a litre bike...bloody fantastic mind you I have a -1 front sprocket.
    Jumpy/twitchy in town? Nope but then again I know how to ride the bloody thing ok. I'm sure that any bike ridden by an unskilled or unqualified rider would have troubles in any circumstance.

    A one litre bike is like any other bike. Whether it is "dangerous" or not largely depends on the monkey that may be astride it.

    Seems like the theme coming through assumes that a thou is only as fast as its rider.

    In saying that (and assuming' I am an experienced and mature sort ) I'd feel safer on a Bus, ZX12R or a 14 than on a thou that weighs 165kgs and puts out the same kinda juice.
