To be fair to the F it must be also a function of its power and speed. I've noticed that all fast powerful bikes are made to be stable and safe enough at speed. This makes them much less agile. Also the upgraded cycle parts (wheels, tyres, forks, frame, geometry) all add up to isolate you from part of the experience. My CB500 is much less stable and this makes it more fun in normal use because you can feel the speed more - the sensation of being on a bike is clearer. But stick 120bhp in it and it would be a mess :smt003

I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?
