I can echo some of the comments above, I went 7secs a lap quicker at Cadwell on my 749 as opposed to my DD bike, partly down to me hating the DD tyres having been used to much stickier stuff but it still shows the difference. On a small bike with sticky tyres, SV650 i was only 2 secs off my 749 time. I think I am better on a smaller bike as you get more time to think about things and coming out of corners you are pretty much flat out and not wondering how many of you bhp's you can feed into the rear tyre.

Trying to guage how you will go on a bigger bike after DD is hard, you may find you got a bit slower than you thought just because you arrive at corners quicker and you have to feed power in out the corners
