lol , as you like. You will be the first one on earth saying that a 750cc 4 cylinder has more power and character than a 1000cc twin... as you like
YOUR very own 916 could be wank, this does not mean they all are. Maybe your clutch was dead, as they kill them quickly, or ANY other prob. But better try a new condition one, and you will change mind IMHO. Oh and btw, I know very well the 750 F4 for having my father owning one a while ago, so i really could compare.
BTW, it's torque that does all. If your 140 BHPS are at 16000 RPMs, i prefer my 140 ones at 8000 mate, and the road would also show it
