    I guess that is one opinion....I think it is awesome!

    Guess same could be said for a 1000cc sportbike though.....doubt 98% of people could ride a 600 (sportbike race type; ex: Honda 600RR) to it's full potential, but we see 1000cc's all over......like your Ducati right


    Plus Just because you have a lot of HP doesn't mean you have to go 100+ mph; the added power helps with traffic and getting in and out on the low end. Plus with this weight I am sure it will handle better too......

    Yeah my Ducati is nowhere near 200hp, at 155hp that thing has some serious issues keeping the front end down haha. People buy what they want, I honestly don't care, again not my type of bike. I'd shoot more for a S1000XR for a tourer in my book.

    But.....could you ride a 600cc to it's full potential...yet you have a 1000cc. Just saying it's not that crazy an idea to have a non track bike with lots of power.

    Plus, aren't you like 25 years old? You got plenty of time till you get to FOG status....guess I hit it next year if it is 40 Damn in my 20's I doubt I ever cared about comfort on a bike....was all about gaining skills to get better.


    I do like the S1000XR though; seems fun to ride

    In all reality none of us could ride a bike to full potential, only the gifted cab do that such as GP and such. We are all a bunch of n00bs in comparison lol.
