However, not everybody who drives knows how to ride so it is out of the scope of many petrolheads. Personally,I wouldn't buy such a bike myself, although I enjoy motorbiking very much, because the temptation to go very fast and take risks might have unpleasant consequences. But if I were to choose I would prefer it to any comparable Japanese or Italian bike.
Japanese still rule in sporbikes. They make the best.
In the same way that the Nissan GT-R rules sportscars. I would never own a GT-R compared to a 911 Turbo.
I don't know about the nissan ruling sportscars, but I get your analogy and it does not apply here.
The Japs made the sportbike market, they own it. They didn't show up late with some tech and say here we are like the GTR. The also make most of the best looking bikes. They have led the way in styling that type of bike. And like I said above they make the best quality bikes.
Like my car, I do not say this stuff after the fact to justify what I have, I knew before I bought. But I still looked at everything. When I first made the decision to purchase a bike I thought I may end up on a Harley V-Rod (looked at them for years). I researched every aspect of bike ownership, characteristics of all bike types, performance, value, quality............................ When it all boiled down I ended up with my exact bike, the model, make, and color. I drove a long distance to buy it. It simply has the best mix of attributes you want in a bike. Since buying it I have been back to the harley store and sat on all them again and can't believe how little they are in comparison, plus lack of wind protection, vibration , costs ................ then Ducati's, simply over-rated with that same mystique that so many give to ferrari. Had a diavel parked next to mine a while back, mine looked so much better. Victory, Triumph, the other jap brands................
The BMW RR is the only thing I would add to what I have,most other BMW models aren't that appealing and that is because the RR is styled like a Jap bike. I suppose if you could put the BMW engine in my bike, that would be the perfect ride.
