Good observation...
This country is obsessed with sports bikes, look at all the other EU countries and if you're lucky there may be one sports bike in the countries top 5 selling bikes. Here it's 4 out of 5, the remainder being the 1200GS
I too am a fan of sports bikes, but am trying to wean myself away from them and look at something a little more "practical".
A restricted GSXR600 would be just awful, and what's more, the difference when the restrictor is removed would be so great the rider could be in danger of hurting himself for the first couple of weeks....

I'm all for that because sports bikes get people interested and swells our numbers which means more bike shops and cheaper prices.
