Personally I like the grunt of larger bikes which allows you to roll on and off the throttle and get round cars/bikes/corners without all the drama of banging up and down the gear box.

Twins are better still cos you get huge engine braking and low down torque for laying down serious early accetleration out of corners
And Gixers!!
