I don't know much about the Superebikes, but in running my 750 SS with 900SS's, I of course noticed the major power difference, especially on the highway. Probably similar to the 749/999 comparo. But I found my self at the head of the pack in very tight Mt roads with unending curves. I was always on the power band, kind of like a 2-stroke, with short blasts from turn to turn. I came out smiling, but my buddies all had very sore wrists and shoulders. With the 749/999 though, there doesn't seem to be much weight difference, so I don't know if all of that would hold true. You may be able to stay on the power more often in real tight stuff though as the engine is not as explosive.
