I figured it would have no guts ( mid-range ), but on the track that doesn't seem to matter. I'm no racer, but it does seem that a good racer can keep the bike ( a peaky, no mid-range bike ) in it's slim hp range. Is it possible that mid-range power doesn't help on the track?

Brake and down shift for the corners, get set up and roll on the throttle...I suppose mid-range would help coming out of the bends...at least for a little while, but the 6 is so torquey at least the 05 was, that it is real easy to get that tach needle up where it belongs. I loved the bike and am still slower on it's bigger sister.
