Well if you're in a turn and can't let up on the turn safely and can't get any farther into it, you're at the limit and best not be surprised.
A lot of the way you’re explaining yourself sounds like you intend on riding at 100% or even 90% effort on the road.
There are very few times that can ever be justified. Literally.
Sub-litre (as others say maybe 120hp) and something you can thrash and have fun but at maybe 80% bike power and rider effort.
Having gone from the Blackbird to the F3, dropping >160hp down to barely 90-odd, I was grinning the entire 160 miles today. I also got to use all the gears and all the rev range, but on overtakes there was more than enough left that I didn’t use.
