You know, I went through the same thing when I rode my friend's S1 years ago.
I was riding a YZF600R at the time so what did I try to do?
Wrap up the RPMS!
And I remember the feeling distinctly... Oooooh... here comes the power... and then at ~4500rpm... poof... rev limiter.
It didn't stop me from being interested in Buells, but it certainly made me realize the striking difference in motors.
