I've had access to ZZR's, ZX10'S etc. and, yes, they are feckin quick, but for the fun factor, middleweight bikes always seem to do it for me.

cant test that now, cos I no longer have a 636...
Well that's impressive, because I can only just do it on my 954 'Blade. My Gixer 600 was good for about 85-90 tops in 2nd. It would do 0-60 in first though

I had a GSX1400 and it was great but was just too quick, it ripped your arms off in any gear , anytime. Where's the fun in that? Took all the skill and fun out of riding like ragging it through the gears and hearing the motor wail, pinning the right gear out of corners etc. Back down to a mid sized bike now and much happier again.

i think this would be a good reason to have a bigger bike as well especially the second part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx1CkPcICaY
