The adrenaline rush is addictive, and some of us have very addictive personalities.
It's only by approaching your limits that you can increase them, and doing that at speed also gives the adrenaline hit.
Knowing when to back off is what keeps you alive

These bikes like a good caning... It's not choking the bike, it's clearing it's throat.
Potter around at 5-7k for a while & see how the revs react to a throttle input, then go find a good twisty road & bring it up towards & slightly above redline (13k RPM on my 08, pregens may be different, adjust the following numbers accordingly), aim to have it around 12 - 13.5k on corner exit, and around 9-10k cruising. Give it a few miles like that & see how it reacts to throttle inputs afterwards.
