I've had bike bore bikes, and in the twisties, the smaller bores had the advantage, my only advantage on a big bore was not shifting as much, and the straightaway.

I joined a group in the twisties in Missouri and Arkansas on my Honda (700cc). My basics are solid from teaching classes, but the only other real twisties I had done was the Dragon/Skyway on my Shadow Aero 750. Everybody had sportbikes except a guy on an old naked 'Wing and I kept up with them. Like me, they like to run about 5mph over the speed limit, so the group was a great fit for me.
I know one gal had a CBR 600, but I don't know for sure what everybody else had. Chances are I had the heaviest bike except for maybe the 'Wing. I've wondered how I might fare on the NINJA in a group with bigger bore bikes. I certainly don't need to be first, but I really don't want to be last either. I'll get a chance to find out when I move down there in a couple years. And with single-digit temps today that are going to stay below zero tomorrow, it can't happen soon enough!!!
