Even when we stick those CBR power plants onto or FSAE cars (~75 more lbs of weight, and two more wheels than a motorcycle), they STILL get away from you. I thought the Integra had a free-revving engine, those CBR's are about 50x more-so. And despite the fact that they aren't the most torque-laden engine around, they've got enough power to send you sideways in just about ANY gear.

When we were testing our FSAE car, one kid, on his first lap around the parking lot course, spun out, went over the curb, took out a small bush, and got stuck in a flower bed.

I can't even imagine what these CBR-powerplants are like on a bike!
