BTW the Bandit is oil-cooled and they changed in 2007 to water cooled because it's better.... Besides, none of those bikes are "sport bikes" nor do they claim to be and no one was trying to race them against 600s in either formula extreme or Daytona Sport bike.  |
Do you race? No one but you is trying to make the point that their bike is "better" than anyone elses but you.
Why bother even producing the 600s? By your logic, they shouldn't even exist because they are "under powered" compared to the 1000s.
Doesn't matter if you "need" it or not, you (singular) can't use 100% of your bike's capacity on the street. Never said it shouldn't exist or that you shouldn't have it. Just saying that you can't use it on the street.
You can't really use 100% of the XB motor either. I'm not racing an XB, so it doesn't really matter. You aren't racing your GSXR, so it doesn't really matter.
You are trying to make points that are irrelevant. We aren't even talking about the 1125 motor.
Is there some sort of neurotic need to continually justify your bike purchase decision? Are you insecure about your bike? I've owned an XB, and even given the choice between the XB and 1125 platforms, will pick the XB again. It's a unique motor that provides very satisfactory feedback, feel, and enjoyment. Me enjoying the XB doesn't take anything away from your enjoyment of your GSXR, does it?
