That of course is a generalization. A R1 felt slow in the city compared to my CBR600RR. but past 8-9k rpm and it pulls hard.
What kind of riding are you planning to do? mostly commuting, with some weekend spirited riding? track days?
how fit are you? can you go 3 hours on a sport bike without needing a spinal adjustment?

Its going to be an all around bike. Track and Street, looking to do a few Cali trips this year. I'd say i'm pretty fit, I race a 125 and have done endurance practices with up to 45mins straight of hard racing. So I don't think I'll have any issues with positioning plus I move a lot on the bikes. Rode a Kawi 300 up to osoyoos and back on a day trip + 2hr horseback riding, and I was fine at the end of the day.
I don't really care about being slow in the city. I could care less about being first to the next red light. Its more for the longer trips and such. I use my Grom for city riding which is perfectly fine.
I don't plan on doubling either, my GF has her scooter and we ride the small bikes together.
