Upon further reflection, I now realize the power of the sport bikes might cause the front wheel to rise and adversely affect handling, even while riding within the speed limits. However, I've been described as a "smooth and gentle rider," so I don't feel the need for such raw power. I would rather own a bike which allows me to ride safely in the more comfortable, upright riding position. Nevertheless, I do understand why others might prefer the exhilarating, raw power of many sport bikes, and would be willing to ride in the forward leaning position.
