I guess i should have been more specific..lol I do appologize. My statement about speed was from two stand points. The first being safety and the second on a wear and tear stand point. Pretty much anything under 1100 CC's suffers when it come to gearing with exception to sport bikes. Its tough to make a smaller engine bike peppy and responsive with limited power and make it road worthy at highway speeds and give good fuel economy. Sure these smaller bike will have a adaquet top end but it takes them reving at higher RPM's for longer periods of time which has the adverse affect of wearing the engine and other moving parts out faster.

I'm in my 883 for $2500. I bought it the week before Christmas 2009 for $1300 and have done what you see here for less than $1200.
I just picked up a Ross Big Bore kit - pistons - rings ad James Gaskets for $50 at a garage sale so it looks like it won't be an 883 much longer. I should be able to get the machine work done for a few hundred so call it a 1200 for $2850.
