Actually 600cc isn't much power either. Last bike I had was a 750 and spent a lot of time thinking about more power. You learn how to use it after a while. I would go for a Hayabusa if I had the bucks and the wished to keep riding. Beyond that it gets pretty hard to maneuver at slow speeds due to the added weight. There seems to be a sweet spot in power to weight ratio at around 1000cc. The argument motorcycles are safer with less power is lost on me, I don't buy it. You need to actively use the acceleration advantage a bike has to keep out of harm's way. Less than 600 and there is not generally not enough power to get out of trouble with.
