Is this supposed to make people who buy the latest and greatest feel stupid or embarrassed? What happened to people buying what appealed to them?
I didn't buy my bike to have the latest, fastest, best and to be the best rider. I bought it because I wanted a litre bike, I wanted a new bike and im MY opinion the bike I chose looked the best. I never thought I'd be able to use all of it, and didn't think an extra few HP would make me a better rider.
Honestly, when I saw the bike I knew INSTANTLY that I had to have it. Maybe it came down to something as simple as looks? Good marketing? Maybe. The bike I wanted? Definitely.
And no I don't plan to upgrade to the 05 model, the 06 and then the 07. I plan to keep this for quite some time, till I can sit at the top of the takas and lament on how in my day 180HP was alot, and how crazy you youngsters are to ride 2015 Gsxr1000's with 572 HP, and 125kg bikes
Bikes are a personal choice, just like any other posession. Implying that one's choice is superficial is only going to annoy people.
