Again....
Same for me, going back a few years now, I had a zxr750 with some mods which kicked out 123 on the dyno. But I did get to the stage where I wanted more from my rides (not necessarilly power).
Was thinking of r6's r1's - until I spoke to a buddy who raced at the time - his words were stop messing around and learn to ride on a 748...
Without even trying one out, I sold my zxr and bought a 748

For the first few rides I thought I had made one BIG MISTAKE.

Once I got my head into riding in a completely different style I found my entry/exit speeds on my favourite twisties were a good 10 to 15 quicker
Just take your time - it will come!!!
