Obviously you've got a bigger, heavier engine, but you've got heftier forks too. All depends how much your front end compresses under heavy braking etc I guess.

Would have been ok except we used to go to Scramble events (Moto-X foir the younger members) where spectator parking was usually in fields - oh the embarassment as we helkd up queues of traffic while my dad said 'sorry mate, can't get through that gateway'. :-[
