I didn't say the bike is slow. I am saying it doesn't feel as fast as a supersport. When I looked at the power and weight figures for both, my feeling was even more justified.
The Ninja 1000 is a great bike but it doesn't feel as fast as a literbike.
Have you ever even ridden both of these bikes? I thought the same things you do...then I rode it. The Ninja 1000 doesn't power wheelie that easily. Again, I was surprised at how TAME it was. This is not a bad thing, it makes it a GREAT bike for the street- much better than a supersport. Instead of arguing why don't you put an hour in the saddle of each riding like a real person (not short shifting every gear to stay away from the powerband) and tell me that it feels as fast as a ZX10.
