I'm not disagreeing with this at all.

I've owned a few "middleweights" BUT admittedly haven't owned one in a long time until I picked up the 07 R6.

I remember how my 600's felt from the early to mid 90's and knew how much these bikes have been improved and when I hopped on the R6 after buying it I thought...geez...is there something wrong with this bike ?

After break in when I was able to run it up through the rev range I realized even more how much this bike was geared for the track.

Yes weight makes a big difference too. That's why the wife and I can't have the same HP/TQ and bike weight...I don't want her faster than me.
