i passed someone on a cbr600 f4i coming out of a series of corner yesterday (and an instructor on a EX500 was passing EVERYONE) so i am more than convinced 500cc is enough bike...
i don't know.. i wonder if i WOULD like long distance touring.. scraping up the lower fairing and the footpegs at the track was a whole lot more fun for me than the 2hr ride in a straight line to the track.. i think i would go bonkers anything more than 4hrs in one shot. maybe my perspective will change when i get on a more interesting (some combo of technical/scenic) road and not a straight interstate...
