Lol Benji, you just further proved my point. Did you maybe miss the snarky sarcasm I had there?
I was being facetious to make a point for Danny. There's more to a bike that makes it 'better' than just the peak power numbers like he was suggesting.
Yes to everything you said. I really think the current small displacement bikes are as good or better as a whole package compared to the old stuff. This includes useable power, price, suspension, etc etc etc. To make a small bike truly a supersport and spec it with high end stuff and similar design to current supersports (even using an existing parallel twin or single engine) would mean that you would have to pay supersport prices.
