I appreciate that you are operating on perception here, but I go all over the place with well more than 20:1 lbs/hp and wish I could lop off 1/4 of my displacement. I can blow the doors off a metro so it MUST be overpowered It does take getting familiar with your bike and avoiding marginal situations, nothing new there.
