Sometimes in the twisties I wished, I had a little bit more performance at the outcome of curves. My ol' BMW K1100 with 100 hp definitely pulled harder in the high revs compared to the CB.
However, I enjoy the smooth ride and like to be capable by myself (no assistants) to handle this bike without low or highsiding out of the corner, caused by a helpless spinning rear wheel from too much power.
I'd say, if your are not a really experienced track racer, you need some electronic assistance, to handle more power than lets say 120 hp, without wheeling or lowsiding. And that's not what I want. I want to have a direct link between myself and the bike. Back to the basics, but these technical as good as possible, like the CB.
And for my capabilities the Honda is good enough, better a little bit too less power as a little bit too much.
