I do think being mainly a street rider ill enjoy the blade more.

The CBR powerband is much better on the street. Even after the 10 gets the famous "flash" it mostly gains up top. Dynos prove this. The 10 is a super track bike but the street ain't the track. I know you already know this.
My cbr will power wheelie almost to a fault if thats what you're looking for. Esp with a slight gearing change. Around town it blows by most anything cause its monster mid is that strong. If you plan on doing 180 runs routinely it will lose yet how valuable is that to the average guy? You made the best choice for your plans.
