Problems with my S2R1000

[Mash]

For the record, I'm 50 years old and have been driving cars since 1974 and bikes before that.  I've done a little motocross, some (aircooled VW) drag racing and some SSCA parking lot racing.  On the street, I'm a cautious driver and I've never been in a major accident. I use my turn signals, I don't tailgate, I remain courteous to the other drivers.  I may drive a little faster than most, but I have gotten only 4 speeding tickets in my ~34 years of driving.

The problem is, when I ride the s2r1k, I'm inclined to drive differently than I ever have.  Mind you, I like to think I drive safely, and I wear ATGATT, but my right hand seems to get on the throttle quite a bit, especially if there's a smooth road and even a mild twisty.  I almost always am riding faster than posted speed limits, and well, weaving around slower cars is kinda fun. 

Last night, I was out for a ride because, well, because I could.  I was on a stretch of city road where it's 4 lanes wide, brand new blacktop, and a traffic light every mile or so.  Very little traffic at the time.  I pull up to a light, and a black late-model mustang with a huge hoodscoop and loud pipes pulls up next to me.  I happen to blip the throttle slightly (oops), and he answered with a throttle blip of his own.  I did it again, and he responded with a double blip.  Well, the light changed and off we went.  Being the conservative I am, I didn't get on it full throttle, and I let up when I hit third gear (chickenshit).  He was right beside me giving it all he had.  My front-end wasn't that light, so I know I could have given it a little more, but I didn't.  Even though I let off the throttle first, I felt like I could at least keep up, if not outrun the hotrodded mustang.  I rode home thinking how stupid it was to do that, and how, if  saw me, my bike would have been impounded.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.......

Halloween night im riding back from the inlaws on the 996...

At a fresh red light is a hopped up Infinity G35 first up in the #2 lane revving his motor. I'm 3 cars back just chilling when I notice The Infinity driver looking at me in his sideview mirror. The light goes green and he takes off..... I casually weave through the cars, pick up speed and catch the Infinity, Then he really stomps on the gas and tries to pull away....

I whack the throttle and.........absolutely DESTROY him down the road 

So much fun  I couldn't resist

I fail to see any "problems."

I do the same thing - lots of throttle blipping - building excitment for that magic moment when the light turns green and then .........................I casually let the clutch out and pull away gently from the light thinking to myself "That sports car driver looks really stupid racing against himself" plus I didn't just destroy the $200 back tire I just put on.

i do the exact same thing.
save the hooligan moments for _much_ less populated areas (empty back roads are my personal favorite)
