Well Joe, I suppose that "here we go" feelin' there is kind'a cool when they've just strapped ya into the cars on Space Mountain, but I gotta tell ya that once you get back on a chain or belt-driven motorcycle and ride the same twisty roads that you used to on a shaft-driven(sans paralevel-equiped) motorcycle, you don't miss that "here we go" feelin' anymore, what with weird suspension geometry changes those older shafties constantly feed ya over those same twisty roads. 
I always found my R100 to be very nimble on the twisties, and the "stand up" feeling never bothered me.
