Is a litre bike too fast AND quick for the street?

Jeez, I spent 6 months on a bike with 75HP, what the hell would I do with 150?

1000cc is excessive. Fun but excessive.
I rode my GPX250 faster (crazier) than I did my zx6 .. and yet my zx6 was written off inside of about 2 weeks of owning it (cage pulled out without looking).

My only issue with thous' were that they used to weigh alot. Newer bikes are so light, I'd prefer a 04-05 zx10R over another 250 (Once I can ride again).

Sure isn't the physique.

600's don't do the same 1/4 mile times. Most 1000's are at least a second quicker! Fact.
I'd rather be able to go faster than not! and I will!
Sure plenty of people buy 1000's just for the status, others buy them to ride them how they should.....I try to ride mine how it should be ridden, but I'm always learning as all motorcycylists are.
I'm sure lots of 600's are just bought and kept in sheds with the odd sunday ride at 20% throttle too.....
