What makes a motorcycle boring?
#2
Doing everything TOO well when there is not enough accel to make up the excitement factor.

Same holds true for cars. Once the car or bike is soo good that you don't have to think about anything, feel anything, hear anything... it better have more than enough scoot on the throttle, at least for me.

Example- I was on a jet just a few days ago- and it was perfectly smooth for quite a while. I mentioned to my wife that if someone built a small room, blocked out the sound,- you would never know we were going several hundreds of miles an hour, 30,000+ feet above the ground. You literally could take someone who had never been on a plane- and in that room, in those moments- they would think they were sitting in a house.

The CB from the factory is too quiet, and just a bit too tame on the throttle for me. The staintune took care of the sound, and I'm considering a larger rear sprocket to make her a bit more aggressive. With the 6-speed the revs are already plenty low.
