I'll admit it: I've been thinking of a bike with a little more in the way of pick-up.
Went on a ride last week with a ton of bikes. What I found was that I can definitely keep up with some of the folks on newer, more-racing-than-touring bikes (F4i, YZF600, R6, etc.). Obviously, the bike isn't everything - the rider plays a role. Makes me think there's no reason to change bikes, but faster acceleration would still be nice.
