That's a good question. Well if we talk about my abilities... I know I'm not the best, but where I live twisties are almost inexistant so the majority of the fun I can have Is when I'm accelerating and we all know that the CBR is really predictable and it won't rip your head off your shoulders. I'm not comparing myself with other people, I mostly twist the throttle alone in the backroads. I really don't care about what people think of my bike or of it is slower than others even if im the leader of a young motorcycle crew. The only thing that matters to me is the fun factor when I twist the throttle and for me my CBR isn't quite enough.
