Different bikes for different things. I've also found the limits with sparks flying, but I also love the classic line I tend to take with the long heavier cruiser.

For me a sports bike is great for twisties, but a pain anywhere else and the worst thing is that a sports bike is really hard to ride sensibly because they just want to GO! (for me anyway) That can be dangerous for a new rider as your confidence can grow faster than your (actual) skill level.

I love my M50 as it gives me the same thrill at a lower speed than my old RGV, but I don't ride with sports bikes anymore either. Your choice.
