I can't see a T/Cat "leaving it standing" when compared to a FZS 600, but will definitely be a little bit quicker and handle a little bit better,
But a T/Cat with a dirty air filter and dry chain will have lost any edge over the FZS it came with as new, and similarly a T/Cat with leaky fork seals, incorrectly adjusted rear shock, worm tyres or wrong tyre pressures would be no better than a properly set up FZS.
But, as Mick said, the biggest difference is the rider - there was an idiot with a GSXR 1000 who got left standing every time he came riding with us when I was 2 up on my FJ and my wife was on her old VF 750 - and we're not "racers". He just didn't understand how to ride a bike, or read a road.
