I agree with Rob, I'm riding my CB650 a lot at the moment, (Between down pours) and it's got tons of mid range umph, it's great cruising up behind a car at 55-60, then just winding open the throttle to overtake without \"Cogging Down\".
Different engine, I know from past experience mid range power and handeling is a lot more useful than a fast top end.
The Important thing is to enjoy the ride.....
