I have seen dirt bikes on road courses with riders who can drag knees....but they are on pavement and have street tires on those dirt bikes....there's a whole class dedicated to them.

Believe me, it's a different world...completely.

However as far as the bike goes I guess I had a beginners bike in mind. I was looking at the Yamaha YZF600R which is 599cc compared to the 645cc of the suzuki

small as in <750cc

a v-twin produces power much differently from an inline 4. To compare a difference of 46cc is NOTHING. Compare power and torque numbers....

The YZF600 is a good bike, just check out how much it's going to cost you to replace that fairing when you go down the first time.
