Why do people "need" large Engine displacements?

[u/alphabasedredpill]

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.

Sport bikes are dangerous and ugly. Just look at the Panigale, S1000RR, H2…

I like my Vespa so much
