I've pondered this same question several times.
Each time, I jumped on a liter bike and got reminded why I love my Busa so much.
The liter bike is definitely more flickable... it takes less effort to throw it around. It's far lighter... and feels it at slow speeds.
However;
The literbike feels much more "hard edged". Not nearly as comfy, I feel more like I sit on TOP of the bike rather than "in" the bike (busa).
If I had the time to do trackdays, I'd pick up a liter bike. For me though, for the street and backroad twisties... I'll keep the Busa.
