So, really, that more or less epitomises the essence of the appeal factor for buying high horsepower bikes like this one, laden with superfluous electronic rider aids and electronic technologies: a less skilled rider can go faster and be safer, to which I answer, I already go (plenty) fast enough, in fact too fast.
There comes a point when a bike like this simply becomes a track bike, not a real world bike because that's where all the power and electronics pay off...at break neck speeds. Trust me, I have plenty of fun in the real world on bikes with half the power, and no gadgets. Trust me, I go fast enough, *but I am not having a race with anybody*
, like buyers of these types of bikes are having, either in their minds, or with their pocket books, or with their egos. So yes, you are overcompensating, thinking that riding faster makes your experience, and you as a rider, better, when that riding *must be, in order to put all that power and gadgetry to proper use, wayyyy above the speed limits on public roads*.
These bikes are about egos and overcompensating and little more; like trophy wives that can be purchased off a showroom floor.
P.S. I just couldn't help but think of Jorge Lorenzo's recent get off during a "training" session for the next MotoGP race in Japan. I think it's safe to say MotoGP riders are the fastest of the fast with repects to both, rider skills, and bike technologies. He crashed while riding a *mini-bike*. He was training on...*and having fun with*...a mini bike. In fact, this is not unusual for world class racers:when they want to have fun and relax a bit, they ride low tech, low horespower bikes. That kind of blows the belief that you need more power and more electronic aids to have more fun out of the water IMO. World class racers know what I know: it's more fun riding a slow bike fast, than having to ride a fast bike slow.
