Who wants to tuck or click it down a gear just to make a pass? I'm 6'0 175. It's just not powerful enough for me. I cannot comprehend how you have to back off the throttle in traffic? I have to romp on it in in 1st and 2nd just to stay with the flow of traffic around here.

Also, another reason to go bigger, so I dont have to run wide open throttle in a tuck in 6th just to cruise the highway. It's inconvenient and uncomfortable. I've done the same trips on friends GSXR and R6 with incredible improvement. Not only does it have enough power to move out of people's way but it also doesn't take every last bit of power to ride into a slight headwind at 75-80mph. On the bigger bikes I can ride completely upright, comfortably, for 50 miles down the highway doing 80. It is smooth as can be and not bobbing all around from wind like the 250.
