    Some are def way worse that others. But regardless, it's a fucking ridiculous thing to put on a street bike.

    Ah but is that not part of the appeal - look I have a race bike clutch.

    Bit like launch control - stupid thing to have on a street bike .....

    Of course not, but while roads have corners it would be nice not to have compromised the bike just so you can look like you are from Sons of Anallicky.

    Wheelbase, steering angle, trail, and distribution of mass all massively affect handling. Bikes with a decent balance of above are just more enjoyable to ride. At least on our roads.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    By that logic we should all ride identical bikes that is the best for our roads. You make no allowance for personal preference.

    I think he's just pointing out that anyone that doesn't have an SDR chose..... poorly.

    a bike like that all it needs is the exhausts raped a bit and the intake opened up.

    it should have round 70hp and a flat torque curve. Perfect for blapping round town on.

    Yeah - I thought it was a bit gutless for a 1200

    It's true that we all have different tastes, a flick back through this thread to look at some of the pics of hideous heaps of crap/fascinating machinery will confirm that.

    On contrary. I feel my definition covers about 95% of bikes. But questions, heavily, the "why the fuck would you?" 5%

    I would mention a Black CX500 Custom is in the top 5 worst bikes I have ever ridden.

    Reckon Harley have prolly got better than 5% market share, and I'll raise it that less than 95% of all that are here are half decent on kiwi roads.

    You want us to post videos of gp bikes crashing when the rider asks too much of them?
