That "just a road bike" used to be OK when people ran stock vj22's, stock KR1s and stock 400's (and I weighed 20kg less ).
But it appears the 10 or so bikes that have drifted from the grid over the years are the "slow" ones.
2007 (my first season) saw 31 different 250's on the grid (over the season), this year that figure was down to 11 and most of those are pretty hefty spec.
Now it's refreshed it's a little stronger than it was but even after I was sure the bike was OK I did ride in the only dry race (Saturday, race one) like a massive girls blouse and that race was only 4 laps (red flagged and should really have been re-run).
