Your motorcycle bhp is higher than my car bhp, and I can reach max speed of 170 kmh after trying hard at 4th gear
Difference is that your car takes 3 minutes to reach 170
Superbike takes 3 second to hit 100.
Another few seconds to hit 200.
A lot of these superbike will do 0-200 in less than 10s
Supercar level performance, with a lot more thrill and adrenaline rush.

What is the thrill in throttling and reaching 120kmh on 1st gear alone, especially on public roads? This is something I don't understand.
For me I prefer to rev to rev-limit and go through the gears. Hitting the rev-limit multiple times and going through the gears is something very enjoyable. Though I'm beginning to feel my twin-pot 250cc is a bit lacking in acceleration after 5 years of riding. Just waiting for the day someone brings in 4-pot 250cc.
Just like cars accelerate hard after traffic light.
Same thing.
Superbike people don't rev till limiter, pistons going too fast and huge risk of seizing up.
