The 'quick' thing is relative guys-low powered bikes can be lots of fun as you can use all of the power all of the time-which is half the point of the series.
My Gilera Saturno makes about 36rwbhp but it doesn't get overtaken much at Cadwell as you can just keep it flat and ride the corners-DesmoDue bikes should be much the same-only faster.
Power isn't every thing-look at MotoGP, the top 125's would beat the bottom MotoGP runners with 50 bhp compared to between 220-260 bhp! It makes you think.
