Good analogy. It's a lot more fun to push a well-sorted 250 at the limits- which a good rider can reach- than try to push yourself toward the limits of a modern literbike- which even a Rossi can barely tap.

The 86 feels plenty fast even though it isn't. Just don't get too complacent setting up passes. (just like a wound-out 250).
