[MENTION=114951]dabac[/MENTION], I've been trying to put it that way, but some people don't seem to understand. I am most definitely faster on my faster bikes, and I know it's because the engine is putting out more power, but my slower bikes tell me not to bother, and my faster bikes urge me on, which feels good. More experienced riders can feel small differences which don't amount to much or any extra power transfer, but in feeling the differences, we pedal harder.
