I think 70 hp from a mid-weight motor is that sweet spot for performance vs overkill vs realistic potential. More gutsy than the ninjettes, but not crazy temptation rockets. Plus an actual frame and suspension that handles well.
What does the Gixxer 600 k8 make in wet mode?

Could we turn chone all squidly
