Crompsin, you've definitely made some good points, but you're comparing apples with oranges. A 750cc Honda Shadow V-Twin has a 0-60 time of 7.24 seconds and 40hp. The Buell Blast on the other hand, only has 500cc, but has 34hp and a 0-60 time of 7.1 seconds.
Now compare those with the Ninja 500R... 498cc, 52hp, and 0-60 in 3.76 seconds. Biiiiiig difference in performance, and in no way is it a "toy".
