Very true with the modern I-4's having power on tap. The FZ6 had me waiting for the powerband and being sort of impatient, I needed that instant power gratification. The answer was, without a doubt, in a v-twin sportbike.

A friend of mine has a K5 Gixxer and he says there is power everywhere, and I believe him. I wouldn't mind taking one for a test ride to feel it out. But the sound and rumble of the twin just can't be beat. My old Five-One would sound like a Blackhawk helicopter and I miss that the most. Along with the whirl of the gear-driven cams.
