I feel you about the lack of low end torque, it would be nice to have more. It would be nice to have more power everywhere. Changing the gearing helped me with the constant gear changes though.

In the end bikes below 600cc are a tough sell here. I think the Ninja 650 was always intended to be a replacement for the 500. It seems bikes are going the same way as cars, bigger and heavier but not any better.
