For the most part I found that the GT86 slowed me down. Same when I bought the Honda CBF1000. It seemed there was no longer anything to prove to myself or otherwise and high speed was so readily available it wasn't a challenge anymore and stopped being as much fun or having as much appeal.

In the GT86 I find myself slowing down more for corners so I can accelerate through them without breaking the limit.

Odd, but there you have it.
