No kiding, my bike was kicked out of the 2003 TT 1000cc production race where it had finished 25th out of about 90, not bad considering it was a 600, hence it getting chucked out.
The following year my 400 was lapping faster than quite a few 1000cc bikes
Considering all entrants to the TT have to hold International licences it shows how few of them can actually ride a top sports bike to its limit so what hope has Joe Public

I find my 996 is more than enough for the road, yes a few modern sports bikes will blow it away in a straight line but from A to B on rural roads there's not much in it.
