When was the last time you rode a modern I4 machine? My GSXR 1000 (01) had as much midrange torque as my R1200S does. Maybe not as much as the 1098 (1198), but plenty enough to pop wheelies and spin the rear at will.

Regardless, it sounds like you're enjoying the heck out of your ride. I would too-
