An EX500 will go slower in a straight line, sure... but it's not that hard to hussle them around a bend every bit as quickly as some green jackass on a showroom gsxr1000 who has the "my bike is new, bigger, faster" mentality.
Did you know a 250 holds Summit's bike lap record?
Bigger != faster
*edit* It's not uncommon to see a 500 turn a 1:29 at Summit main. I've seen good SV racers turn 1:24's. By contrast I've lapped my VFR at the same 1:35-1:40 pace as anothe guy in the run group on a brand new ZX10R. No matter your mental perception, thse things are faster than any of us... even a lowly Ninja 500. I'd love to have one, really, lots of fun.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
