Where, exactly, did you come up with this 25% number? My guess is you got it from the same imaginary place that everyone else who says this every time a new bike comes out and expands the envelope does - out of their ass, which has never regularly sat on such a bike. Go get on a machine with 37 horsepower (25% of 140), 12.5 degrees of lean angle (25% of 50 degrees), some really crappy brakes (with 25% of the stopping power of these), and that weighs 1500 pounds dry - geez, I just described a Harley - and take a ride through your favorite back woods twisties, then come back and tell me you couldn't use any more performance if a bike had it. Will I use every ounce of performance on this bike all the time? No, but I will twist the throttle wide open frequently (using 100% of the torque), and I will use 100% of the braking power it's got, and I will lean that puppy 100% of the way down until stuff scrapes. I plan on using a whole lot more than 25% of this bike's potential.
