yes under powered. Unless you have modified the engine. Yes too heavy and under braked. Don't take my word for it though go read any review in Motorcyclist magazine. Or better yet take a spin on a sportbike. Sorry I actually do wish they were better bikes. They are certainly far better than they were 10 years ago and I hear the Vrod and the XR1200 are/were decent motorcycles. I won't dispute that they are pretty... Certainly not my kind of bike though...
