Nah, don't agree with that at all, it depends how you want to ride it. Even on a 600 you can't use all the power all the time, but a modern thou is lovely to ride at lower speed, IMO. I'd sooner have an R1 than an R6, I wouldn't be particularily fast on either.
It must be in the rider then, cause all I ever wanted to do was thrash the tits of them 😉
