The Yamaha YZF 600R Thundercat has a claimed 100 hp in its cylinders, it provides all the power you need, so long as you have to rev it above 6000 rpm. The Thundercat's gearbox makes playing racers occasionally a whole lot of fun, although the clutch is the weak link in the transmission.

A ram-air-fed 16-valve DOHC powerplant and fully adjustable suspension see to it that the YZF600R gives up very little performance in exchange for its real-world superiority.
A thick, supportive seat for two behind a fairing designed more for weather protection than maximum aerodynamic penetration at full tuck makes the YZF 600R a great sport-tourer too.
