If you're used to trad Brit bikes (not Hinckley Triumphs) or classic Italian then you have to try to work WITH the bike not against it.
This approach doesn't always work however!

That's pretty much it. The small case motors had very little development since the late 70's Pantah/Cagiva Alazzurra motor on which they are based. The large case motors only really benefited from development on the back of SBK racing so the later injection ones are actually really nice to ride which was probably the intention all along but it was only when the $$$ came rolling in from the 851/888/916 bikes winning races that they really could produce the road bikes that were nearly as good.
