The power is almost the same up to 140 and it it's a very light bike, under 400lbs, so it gives a false sense of security.

I really wouldn't but a traction controlled Camaro in the same class as a motorcycle. With all due respect sir it kinda makes you sound like a sissy. A SS class bike is a under 10 second machine out if the dealership.

Cars are slow.

LOL O.K. guy. Whatever you say. Without traction control, my car can easily overtake my skill to handle it, especially on small surface streets. I know my limits. I don't think that makes me a *****. That makes me prudent, and I don't feel like destroying the $40K I have in it.

Yes, I owned an SV650S, now I own a chopper and a VTX1800. I learned on an 82 Yamaha Seca. I didn't say 600s or 650s were slow. I said they COULD be as slow as a 250 or 300 if you show some self restraint. You can ease yourself into the power, as opposed to deciding "I'm ready" and figuring out how unready you are.
