well i've never ridden a street bike but i have been riding dirtbikes, i have a kx 125 and recently had the chance to drive a honda xr 650 (supposely the fastest of fast dirtbikes). anyway, i took the 650 out on the street and floored it and it just didn't seem that fast. anyway to my point, i know that a streetbike will have a totally different feeling of acceleration compared to a dirtbike but for any of you that have ridden both how do they compare. ie. like a 250 2-stroke vs a gsxr 600 or sv650s.

thanks guys
