The best handling middleweight sports machine available
is the new Honda VF500F.  However, unless you have access
to a race course to hone the skills, it is unreasonable 
to expect you will ever get "the most" out of one of these
new sport bikes.  A 99th percentile rider will have
experimented to the point where a two wheel drift is 
controlled, or is pretty comfortable wearing off the
sidewalls.  An SR500 Yamaha might not instill the 
confidence a VF500 would, but relatively few riders
on the whole could use the Yamaha to its limits.

Any comments from netville, Au?

To find the limits, you have to have exceeded them 
at least once.
