In a straight line, no, I cranked it for all it had as soon as I could.
In the corners, yes, it was somewhat scary the first month or so, and to this day I know I made the right decision starting on the Ninjette to hone my skills.
With that said, now I just get irritated because I've gotten WAY to used to the tire wiggle from the rear as I rompt the throttle coming out of a corner on my 600. I also notice I get jealous watching racers on 1000cc machines. I just love the way the bike squirms as they shoot out of the corner like they were just catapult launched off of the U.S.S. Nimitz.
Why couldn't I have a normal addiction like crack? I am certain it would be less costly, and it is more than likely safer as well.
(Disclaimer: Kids don't do crack; it's bad for you.)
