I honestly don't know, on test days there are always some 1000's and some 600's going slower than I am so I wouldn't be right at the back, at the end of last year I did the Donington November round and entered the up to 1000's race, I was about 5th to last which I was really happy with given the 3x power advantage that the other competitors would have had,
but,
I think it would take a bit of getting used to. Big bikes have more power less weight and better suspension, I know from my 999 that I can go about 4 or 5 seconds faster around brands on a big bike, probably slower in the corners, but every time I rode it, me being used to the 600ss that I raced, it scared the pants out of me, I was very carefull and I know I never got anywhere near its potential.
the question is, if I raced one would I ever get used to the power and be confident enough to thrash it to within an ince of its life????????
Don't know??
