I'm probably only vintage speed with super sports. The fastest bike I've owned was an R1150RS. I couldn't get used to the speed it went through the gears and used to hit the limiter regularly.
I should try something really fast but I'd have to ride through a lot of traffic to get anywhere I could use it.

I’ve owned two super sports before, a GSXR and an RSV Mille R.
I’m familiar with the concept and would agree a super sport definitely has its limitations and challenges from time to time.
It’s more or less the same as a road bike to me, it serves a specific purpose that shines when used with the correct mindset and gear. If your expectations are different, you’ll simply come home disappointed and frustrated. In reality, it wasn’t the best choice for your actual riding style.
