You are 100% correct. I rode one for the first time a few weeks ago. I wouldn't say that it was easier or more fun to ride than my bike though. Throttle control was no problem, and at lower RPM's the power isn't either.

Power in the higher RPM's is crazy though, and it's boring riding at slow speeds. It doesn't even feel like you are moving until your going 85. It's was harder to handle at slow speed and I noticed the extra weight every second I was on the bike.

Of course a 600 weighs a lot more than the old 250. In the end I felt like it was more work and less fun, but I'm a heck of a lot more comfortable on my bike cause I ride it everyday.
