You are missing the point.
I was not denigrating any bike, my post starts with "Japanese bikes are great" I started off on a Ninja 250 and owned a CRF230 at some point so I speak from (limited) experience. Discussing things on an Internet forum is about driving positive debate. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they are denigrating you.
Besides, my whole post was in response to someone expressing their preference (or lack there of for Ducatis).
Also, replying with "that's not needed" "that's not new technology" "that doesn't count as technology" is predictable and smacks of a defensive attitude.
Ride safe, enjoy yourself, maybe we'll run into each other one day. I'll be waving
