Keep in mind that much of this depends on just how much twist there is in the twisties. I'm not an aggressive rider and jaunts up to the redline only occur on occasion and when road begins to straighten out. My favorite twisty roads have a bit of a meandering nature to them.
Here's a video that I shot some time ago. This road is about as twisty as I care to get. As you can see, I approach these curves somewhat timidly as I don't tend to push things hard on a road like this. Sport bike riders would find my pace irritatingly slow. But I'm only riding for my own pleasure, not someone else's. This is where the torque characteristics of the CB1100's engine are so enjoyable.
