Really i have seen bikes with a 10-15 hp deficeit own bigger faster better prepared but poorly ridden machines. And I am thinking the small advantage you would get in the mid range or in transition from low to hi rpm would be very neglible and something you could mask easier and with less effort with proper gearing...
im not gonna sit here and say that tuning replaces riding ability, however what it can do is increase ease of riding and the enjoyment thereof. it also allows you to adjust the bike to your riding style.
