Ah but it is part of being a streetbike for the most part and should be taken into account when evaluating the merits of two bikes as such. See I can break out this logic thang too when I wanna!!!

No, and I don't think they ever will. They used all the R&D from the R1 motor to make this bike and they would have to start all over from scratch for a 450 version. I just don't see them taking the time or spending the research money to do it.

And now I'm going to hop on my little sucky ass street bike and drop my check off at the bank . . . in my jeans

Yes they did... some of them were wearing JEANS!!! Hmmm there was another guy or two also wearing jeans... that wouldn't have been you would it?

That guy had no business riding a 1k. He split to go home right after that and I haven't seen him since.

That guy had no business riding a Schwinn!!!

You better not! I'd suggest that you go in your boxers, at least then you won't ruin a nice pair of jeans.

And your logic might be sound if he hadn't already proved you wrong with the GPS.

Um, but without a rider, the bike isn't doing a whole helluva lot of anything...

Krabill....your bike looks badass and I'd love to try something like that out. It looks like so much fun.

Tigger....apples to apples man. NO ONE here is trying to tell you that his bike is a comparable street bike to yours.

When I see anyone pull up in shorts/tank top/flip flops/bikini/etc. I think to myself they're an idiot and I wouldn't be riding with them. Simple as. You can ride in whatever the hell you want but I don't have to ride with you if you want to squid it up. Just like you don't have to ride with me.

Now for the philosophy section of today's show........do you think that people that feel the need to relentlessly argue a point on the internet, while bringing their argument to the point of personal degradation, do so because they inherently like to argue OR because they have something to prove, or maybe because they feel somehow inferior?

I personally feel inferior and that's why I argue on the internet...

It all started with my father, he was a hard man, a drinker and ex military. So he had a very "my way or the highway" attitude. Nothing I did was ever really good enough for him and he let me know that in no uncertain terms. He was abusive both physically and verbally and I can't remember ever getting even one word of love, kindness or encouragement from him in my entire life. Plus my Mother didn't breast feed me. Thank you Kelli for helping me come to an epiphany concerning my character and psychological underpinnings. You are an angel of mercy... bless you!

Just being able to break the speed limit doesn't make for a great street bike, sister. What about ergos, vibration, handling, seat (tell me that narrow motherfucker is comfortable for hours at a time), wind protection, controls, lights, etc.
