Wussy! Having an excessive amount of torque in the low band is what makes a car/bike fun. You just never know what's going to happen when you stomp that pedal or twist that grip.
Having an excessive amount of torque in the low band is also necessary when you have a 4500lb Cadillac. Powerband from 500rpm to 3500rpm kicks ass! 2.14 ring gear and 0.68 overdrive inna house!
