Not what I was trying to say at all.
In almost all situations the 950 can hold it's own but, fully loaded (i.e. rider, pillion and luggage) it's never going to match the performance of an S1000XR or a V4 Multi with 170bhp.
For me that level of performance (offered by 170bhp and above) is unnecessary and undesirable (which is probably why I get on so well with the 950).
Really? You didn't think it was good for two up?
At one point, Partner and I were comfortably doing 120 on Spanish motorways.
Partner preffered it to the 1200 I had at the time. More linear power delivery and the engine braking wasn't as vicious.
