What a write up by forty6 !!! Super liked it..Had a good laugh with dumb founded colleagues around.
I had a similar feeling; in fact me and friends once joked that it need 350 or 500 cc just to carry of its own. However, in my short touring experience couple of places I founds its best to ride. Specially when there is worst road or no road. While Pees, KZMs and puny Rs are saving their asses, the bullet just run as nothing happened. However, once you are back on a decent road or highway, story remains same.
So all in all, IMO its up to the rider which suits him/her better.
