yeah, liter bikes are a handful. I took mine out for a spin yesterday and giggled like a little schoolboy getting on the gas after a stop light. It was a gradual increasing radius left turn and I shifted from 1st to 2nd at bout 6k rpm's and then pinned 2nd gear. That kinda joy can't be experienced by these little bikes.
Think I won't buy one... I'll be left disappointed with it. 150 hp to the wheel is more fun than 40 ever will be. My 52 hp Husky SMR510 came close, but power is addictive.
