The majority of your basis is geared towards a racer. The average street rider that is caught in the rain, is making a SLOW direct line HOME. Yes, using C map for less power would be great in that condition, but when I didn't have it and was caught in the rain, I didn't need to it get home. I, like most others, aren't speeding around wet corners or even accelerating hard in adverse conditions. As I stated....it's probably gold to racers...good for them. I also agree it would be great for a person lacking the ability to manage the throttle in such conditions....To agree....how about I say it's useless to me. Edit: I have no idea how the 04/05s handle...Your statement about the 06/07s is far from true. I have owned every brand except the Honda 1000....had several of the 600s and my 06/07 ZX10 handles better than any i've had..even the 07 gsxr. I also know that weight makes a difference..Yes, there are heavier things that handle better than lighter things...I'll give you that. My point was even though weight is distributed differently....it'd be better w/out it. Also, yes, most street racers/riders do compare HP and weight to classify ranking...It's different than your world where slower bikes are dragging faster ones around the track. Out here on the street....least amount of weight and higher amount of HP is the target.
