Thats what im worried about with this bike. Dont get me wrong, im a new rider on the street still, and have a lot to learn, but im worried ill end up losing all the money I put into the bike, and wasting my time. Then again I guess it is kind of a "personal" investment as im getting used to the bike.
Maybe I was just expecting more power. Ive always heard crotch rockets are just retarded fast.
Idk, kind of difficult, im a shortish guy, not very heavy. And im already kind of stuck with the brand new bike, if I sold it now id be talking about a 1000$ loss minimum.
This bike isn't a "crotch rocket" though, its sport touring, much different than a super sport, it's tuned differently so its easier for commuting around town. If you were looking for that "crotch rocket" power, a r6 would've been a little better choice, those bikes have a higher power band and more horsepower.
+1000 on that
In this case it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck but it's a long way from a duck.

I guess thats the proper statement. The main thing that gets me, is ive heard crotch rockets usually could pull up in like 3rd gear, this thing wont unless I tried hard in first. And the top speed kinda bums me a bit too, was expecting a bit higher speed I suppose.
I really think I could cure 70% of this itch if I could just find some freaking twist roads, i can tell for that this bike has plenty of power, but for straight highway its kind of meh.
I have been shifting around 5 when cruising, and around 6-7 when just fun shifting.
Sounds to me like you should quit being a pus*y and just get a 'Busa. Why f*ck around?
Sounds like your still expecting way more out of your bike than what it is capable of speed wise. If you think of it as a "standard bike" in "crotch rocket" clothes which is pretty much exactly what it is, some circles even say its a "starter/beginner bike" which wouldn't be wrong either, you will be more in the right mind set
