Reminds me of a conversation I had with a guy on a Goldwing outside of Harbor Freight last evening. I was saying how I want to move up to a 600cc I-4 sporty sometime in the next few years. I gave the reasons against it, too much power, heavier. He said that it’s all a matter of how you twist the throttle for power. And I’m a strappin’ young lad, in better shape than him on his massive Goldwing, so control isn’t an issue.
I guess what it comes down to is, is it better to have massive power and never use it (without losing your license for wreckless operation or worse), or have decent power and really give the engine a good workout? I think the latter is more fun for now.
