How much hp do you actually use?

Gentlemen,

I use it all about once every other ride. Throttle pinned and quick shifts at 8500 RPM. The bike is fast enough to thrill me but not so powerful that I think it's looking for a way to kill me. I owned a Yamaha sport bike that was so ridiculously fast and beyond my abilities it wasn't very fun. I sold my 2100 lb, 665 rwhp, big block, all aluminum Cobra after a couple hair raising experiences. I really like the power level and sound of the big CB.
