Yeah, the time I was on Mid-Ohio on a 636, I can honestly say I wouldn't have been faster on a 1000 at all. I didn't need any more motor than my 636 provided. Some people, like you mentioned, never understand the concept. The CC limits will probably never happen here. They should, but probably won't. I think the limit would be better if they factored in a cc to weight ratio as well factoring in the size of the rider. Example: 150lb rider starting on 250cc, and if you're 250+ 500cc. Meh, just an idea.
