That does make a lot of sense. I remember someone once saying that once you felt you had complete control of your motorcycle and that you can just whip it around like a toy, it's time to get a more powerful one before you get yourself killed on that one.
And I remember seeing a Mustang at the track once that was making about 500 horses, and it worked against him because at first he was using every bit of that power on the straights, only to find out they don't *make* brakes that can scrub off that kind of momentum repeatedly without going away.
