Cookie, i know where you are coming from...but in the real world we could make do with a scooter and a Kia.
But there is more to life than that. Riding a big stupid powerful bike is one of life's big pleasures and we always want more than we really need.
I remember vividly my first ride on my Daytona ( which at the time for me was eye-opening) and then the 954 Fireblade and then the Tuono and the Multistrada.
There is much more than just the stupid power though, its the noise and the pride of ownership and the gizmos.
No we don't need any of them .....but its nice to have them to aim for.
