I started on a 390 and now also have a V4 800. Strictly engine, the 800 always just accelerates till about 260kms. The gearing is also longer and displacement bigger, so I decide what gear to be in.. Ofcourse your refering to racebikes, so those will be different. More extreme? Torque varies.

I personally like my bikes with a lot of electronic aids, with the understanding that such electronics make the bike considerably less reliable but far safer. Insurance companies, who presumably keep detailed statistics on this type of stuff, give you insane discounts if you have ABS. So while older bikes from before circa 2016 can be reliable, they're also quite difficult and dangerous to ride.
