yup, agree with Timofy here.

having raced DD, CB500 and SV - all small capacity non race oriented bikes as well as a 998 and a gixer 750 I can honestly say that for me I am faster on a smaller bike.

the perceived sense of speed and the ability feed in power makes it harder for me to ride the bigger bikes. Yes I am quicker, but only marginally compared to the actual power/handling differences.

its simple for me.. i have a speed which i am happy at and it really doesn't matter what bike you put me on that's the speed i go. The positive of this means that I am quite happy in the wet as i don't go much slower than i do in the dry
