A throwback to the valve guide topic: Guides were the first thing I fixed on my 93 907. Every time I throttled up, it spat a cloud of smoke. So, 2V water cooled motors had the same issues, apparently.
I had a friend with a 750 VFR, and I loved the looks. He'd leave me in the mts. whenever the rpm's picked up. The 907 was also heavier, and had less hp then as it seems is still the case. When we swapped, I had the same 'sewing machine' experience others have. It was like driving a civic, by comparison. Capable, competent, attractive, but just not enough.
Interesting how things don't change that much; this comparo. will go on forever it seems...my data is 14 years old!
