However, all the above being said, the difference in the 'end float' play between throttle hard 'off' and cable movement has still caused me one or two Hail Mary moments exiting damp roundabouts. The step up is less about the snap into warp speed the extra cc's offer, but more about the relentlessly even power delivery that just keeps going and going even when you believe it can't go any further. It's less about hitting something with a very big hammer it's more like placing a very big hammer on top of something and watching it being crushed. I came to my Blade from a 60 bhp v twin and the Honda has always felt far more controllable and cosseting.
