I agree. While many media articles have bemoaned that the power output is not what you'd find on a similar sized sport bike, they're missing the point. This engine has the most linear power band of any bike I've owned, with plenty of grunt at the low end. The sweet spot is anywhere between 3.5K and 7.5K. Perfect for carving canyons without having to shift once or twice in every turn.
