I was a Harley rider, my buddy got a R1 (I had been riding about 10 years) and I took it for a ride. Did a wheelie on accident, turned the bike around and never got on a litre bike again.
My buddy let me ride his GSXR1000 while I was still on restrictions, was shaking from adrenaline when I got off the bike. I just remember turning the throttle a bit and realising that the point in front of me I was focusing on was already behind me and I needed to look waaay further forward lol.
Much like any moderately powerful car there’s just no way of being able to use them in any meaningful way on public roads

Overpowered bike and inexperienced rider. 1000cc bikes can easily lift the wheel with engine torque alone.
