Im a confused individual
I'm having a lot of mixed feelings about who I am as a car guy.... When it comes to cars, I prefer analog type cars with few driver aids. Additionally, I find that I like the styling and scene of the import world. I love turbo cars, and for all these reasons, the mkiv is my favorite car.
However, when it comes to bikes, I dislike anything big big bore (zx14s and hayabusas). The reason being, I hate not having instant torque (or torque at all for that matter). Liter bikes are now just about as fast as big bores, but the drivability is awful without torque (imo).
Anyway, is it possible that I'm actually a viper/corvette guy trapped in a supra guys body?

you just want the best of both worlds.... the only drawback on that is that those cost a lot of money.. you want the power of torque and the speed of horsepower.... who wouldnt...

Personally out of all the bikes ive ridden nothing seems to compare to 05/06 gsxr1000 n the upper rpm range,,never been on a 2012 14 but my 07 pulls hard down low but at upper rpm range doesn't feel like that 1000, could b seat of pants cause power hits earliervn feels smoother on the 14 but Man those 1000 r quick, lol, but being 6'3, I don't think I'd own one, plus the passenger sits kinda messed up on the liter bikes

Hmmm..have your ridden a BMW S1000rr?? I assure you it will pull harder in the upper rpm range than just about anything on the street.

Kawifast, I've edited my post, ur absolutely correct on that ridden them all statement, neither bmw or 2010 zx10 r on that list as never ridden as well, but the 14 I have seems smooth from 2500 to 10800, not sure if its just that the bike pulls good from low end but the 1000 upper rpm range Just seems crazy quick

BTW, I meant to say I hate anything BUT big bore bikes (zx14s and hayabusas). I really need to drive an FD rx7 with an LS swap.... That might be the ultimate drivers car. However, I don't know if I can fit in one.... 6'3 220 lbs....
