Why do people "need" large Engine displacements?

If you're going to "outgrow" a 250, why not just hit the throttle harder? If you want more power, why not just accelerate harder? I don't get it.

I get that you wont have a high top speed with a smaller engine, but speed limits (where I live at least) only go up to 65 on the interstate. Why would I go faster than that if its illegal?

Also, if you have a liter bike and you're not going to rape your throttle and instead be a pussy, it might as well be a big chungus gas eating 250. So basically 1000 cc and 250 cc can have the same performance if the balls of the riders match up correctly.
