I must agree with the other responses the XT is built for purpose, its a dual sport do anything go anywhere bike. Having come from a sports bike I must admit its not amazingly quick in a straight line but mine is certainly quick enough to keep up and even blast down the motorway and on twisty roads I have destroyed blades and R1's. Low down grunt is what I like and especially here in the UK where speed traps and cameras are everywhere. Mine has got a pipercross filter and full stainless system I have decided not to mess with the engine because I don't want to lose reliability or full consmption. I think if the XT is not quick enough go for a different bike maybe a supermoto like Husaberg or Husqvarna having tried both you will not have the comfort and long distance ability the XT gives.
