I agree.
To this day, 45-50hp is the most the average motorcycle rider is able to keep under control.
More than a war on "cubic centimeters", we are witnessing a war on raw hp, which, incidentally, is good for nothing.
Here in Rome, Italy, I get my kicks seeing kids on 400cc supermotards (you may call them supermoto or motards...) smoke the 1200cc supersports...
180 hp are good for nothing if your 1st gear will achieve 60mph+, whereas a supermotartd will be in 3rd gear and preparing to slide around that oncoming bend...
So, yes, I love my Savage. She's got all the power I need for putputting around and then some.
(
...maybe... if she had 40-ish hp... I wouldn't mind... sometimes those superscooters really get on my nerves...
