V-twin gets you that useable punch off the line without winding out the engine.

Aren't you on a V4?
Or get a naked bike. A torque monster
Either way, torque = good
As everyone else here has already said, the supersports may not be the way to go. My litrebike doesn't take off until like 8000 rpm and I even geared it lower. By the time I hit 8000 rpm I've already doubled any legally posted speed limit.
I'd say the FZ09 is the way to go, but boy are they ugly as f. In that same class is the z900 from Kawi, and I had the opportunity to ride one of these a few weeks back. I'd take the z900 over the fz09 anyday!
I'd consider myself an adrenaline junkie too and share your desires! I can tell you right now I get ZERO rush from the supersports I owned. My gsxr and zx10r really do NOTHING for me and don't fill that void. You'll get bored fast.
My street legal dirtbikes on the otherhand (crf450x) or my crf450r racebike always get me so hyped up, even if ridden on the road.
(For what it's worth, this opinion is coming from someone who snowboards, races motocross, seadoos, kiteboarding...all that fun stuff)
I really don't think riding a supersport on the street will get you what you desire!! You really need to get something you can take off the street. Maybe consider something like the hypermotard from ducati or ktm superduke!! Or do what I do, and get a bunch of toys so you got all your basics covered!
Anyone that gets a rush from riding on a supersport on the street probably hasn't experienced any offroad or stunt riding.
More mellow, engine is not as good but the suspension is a lot better.
There is no engine like the FZ/MT 09. Maybe the superduke would be the only step above it.

Go to a race track or take up sky diving.
i know what you mean, except both track riding and skydiving involve a lot of preparation.
someone like me just need a fast accelerating bike to commute on. and there's no law stating that accelerating fast to speed limit is illegal.
and 500 lb wet....The powerful, four-cylinder series motor delivers a huge 118 kW (165 hp) at 11,000 rpm and develops a maximum torque of 112 Nm at 9,250 rpm.
Do it in front of a cop and you'll likely be tagged with a stunting charge.

Really? That seems kind of vague..if your front wheel is down, and your under/at the speed limit, and your riding like your in control(no weird swerving etc) what can they charge you with?
Last i checked your rate of acceleration isnt breaking any laws unless your over the speed limit..At most he'll come over to see if he can book you for anything(license, registration, ownership) but hes just fishing hoping to get lucky
I see you got a new logo, new bike?
:shrug: The law is pretty vague and open to subjective opinion; standing on your pegs to cushion the impact of a pothole could result in a stunting charge (HTA172(3)(6)). You think a cop having a ****** day wouldn't chase down some guy racing away from a stop to 60kph in 0.6-seconds with a trumped-up street racing/stunting charge (e.g. he thinks you're in violation of HTA172(2)(2) and/or HTA172(2)(3)(ii)?
If the front wheel comes off the ground even a millimeter he's got you on a HTA172(3)(1). Accelerating a motorcycle rapidly away from a light can and often does easily loft the front wheel and/or give the appearance of "racing."
Such charges may not stand up if challenged in court but who wants to go through that and take the risk they'll uphold them?
