I kinda like sport bikes, I may even think about getting one... OK, I would probably go for a naked bike and yes, I like plain black or dark gray or whateveritis on that new Honda. The problem with "pure" supersport bikes, IMHO, is that you cannot really appreciate them unless you go to the track. If you do, it's REALLY OK. If you don't, you have something that gives you lots of HP at revs you don't normally reach, on the street, unless you reach them and then you have to push hard your brakes before ending up in jail, in plain words lots of unused power! Kinda like having a Ferrari and using it on the street with 60mph speed limit.
I'll tell you what: I've been here for 4 years, I'm Italian, and if I were in Italy I would consider buying something like the naked Honda 900 or the naked Kawasaki, but I would have a serious reason: the chance to go @ 140-150 on the highway with very little chance to go to jail (OK, and a very serious one to get killed, but that's another story.
My feeling, though, is that lots of sport bikes owners are not less posers than lots of H-D owners. The only difference, it seems to me, is seeing them in front of the Varsity rather than the Roadhouse Bar, here in Athens, GA.
Please, let me know what you think about the whole story. In any case, have fun whatever you're riding, even if an electric bike.
Peace.
